The study abroad I experienced during the Summer of 2022 was a life changing experience. Dreams do come true and SPC made it possible by offering me the trip of my life. The mix of emotions I felt when I first landed in London were overwhelming, I wanted to cry, I wanted to dance, I wanted to shout how happy I was to be there, and I had the same feelings when I went to Paris and Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I enjoyed riding the two-story buses in London, I loved traveling by train and subways within the city and then traveling by train to Paris and Amsterdam. The transportation system in Europe is so good that most of the people travel by train, subways, buses, and taxis\/Ubers. I truly embraced all these forms of transportations.<\/p>\n\n\n

The business classes we received were excellent, my favorite classes were the class I received with Dean Mo at Hult International Business School and the class I received with Pavegen\u2019s CEO Laurance Kemball-Cook in London. Mr. Kemball-Cook taught us about his incredible journey as an entrepreneur, his story is so inspiring. These two classes were my favorite.
I fell in love with all the cities I visited and everything I did during our trip. Everything we did was amazing; I enjoyed every bit of it. Being able to learn in depth about the culture and history of the cities I stayed allowed me to have a better understanding about the international business world. The architecture in London is beautiful, I really love the fact I was able to see buildings so old like the oldest bank in the world, the castles, churches, the parliament, the bridges, and many more. At moments I felt like if I was reading a history book and I was in it. I was astonished by the stunning art at the Louvre Museum, I fell in love with France when I visited Montmartre and I saw the city from uphill, and of course I fell in love of the Eiffel Tower, it was fantastic. About Amsterdam, well, after my trip I just want to move to Amsterdam and live in a farm next to the river so then I can I ride a bike and go to the city. Even though I only spent one day in Amsterdam, I think the city is so captivating.
I cry of happiness every time I remember everything I experienced during this incredible trip. I thank Saint Petersburg College from the bottom of my heart for this amazing opportunity.
