There are a million reasons why I am insanely excited to head back to Europe. The most obvious would be to go back to where I left a little piece of myself... on the small vineyard town of Fixin in Burgundy, France. But it's also about new adventure as well. I have not really outlined the details of my trip, so I think I will do my best to do that now.
As I mentioned before, I am a Dixon Global Policy Scholar, which is a program through the Clemson Calhoun Honors College. For more information on DGPS, click here. Basically a summary of the program is a a tracked course to help the students prepare for applying for some of the big scholarships, such as Fulbright, Rhodes, and Marshall. I was selected as one of twelve students to travel to Strasbourg to study "France and Germany at the heart of Europe."
Some of the highlights of the trip are visits to the European Parliament, trekking through the battlefield of Verdun, Hiedelberg, Stuttgart, and many more. Of course, I am most excited about the learning opportunity, and well, the food. I really miss European food. I did gain the better part of 15 lbs. in Europe that last time.
