When I came home, everyone asked me what my favorite place was. It is so hard for me to pick just one place that was my favorite. Each place had something that I loved about it- the gardens, the museums, or the food. I just got back from my trip, but I already cannot wait to go back and visit some of my favorite places and explore even more of the countries. Talking to friends who haven\u2019t studied abroad, I cannot stop telling them about all the amazing experiences I had; hopefully I have convinced them to go on this trip next year. Studying abroad has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my college career. I have made new friends with people I would have never met if not for this trip. After this trip I have a new appreciation for the beauty of gardens and plan to replicate some of what I saw in my own garden some day. I even have a new favorite flower, a rhododendron! It has taken a while for it to sink in that I have traveled to 5 countries in only 18 days. I always dreamed of going to the places on our itinerary and they all definitely surpassed my expectations. I loved being able to studying something I wouldn\u2019t have normally chosen to study on campus. That is what drew me to this trip- the opportunity to study and experience new things in so many different cultures. It was an incredible experience that has been a catalyst for, hopefully, future trips abroad and learning even more about horticulture, history, and culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2017\/06\/Monets-18.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2746\" src=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2017\/06\/Monets-18-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2017\/06\/Monets-18-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2017\/06\/Monets-18-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2017\/06\/Monets-18-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2017\/06\/Monets-18-184x138.jpg 184w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2017\/06\/Monets-18.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":392,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,35,23,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-europe","category-faculty-led","category-maymester","category-the-grand-tour-art-and-gardens"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/392"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2744"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2747,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2744\/revisions\/2747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
