Hello, my name is Sophia and I recently traveled to Japan this past May with SPC. Japan was absolutely breathtaking, and it\u2019s honestly hard to even attempt to describe the entire experience. The culture was so different, the scenery absolutely incredible and just everyone who went on the trip was so amazing. The temples and shrines that we visited (which we visited many) were so amazing, and were so architecturally beautiful. The mountains (yes, we even got to see Mount Fuji) were stunning. Mount Fuji did not even look real in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I highly recommend everyone and anyone to study abroad at least once. This was my first time out of the country and let alone traveling on my own. The experience really is life changing. I feel like I\u2019ve seen so much more than I even knew existed. And there was so much I learned about myself, and that entire experience was just genuinely the best time of my life. I learned so much and had a blast. It was truly unforgettable.
