The Grand Tour of Europe proves true to this description. After much post-trip reflection, I realized what an impact those three weeks had on my character and personal state of mind. I had been looking forward to &#8220;The Grand Tour&#8221; since the first day I became a horticulture dawg.

This course has given me a strong foundation to build on what I am certain will be life-long loves: traveling and historic landscapes.\u00a0I was able to observe incredible gardens, historic monuments, and ancient works of art, all in three short weeks. I returned from my trip exhausted but feeling more accomplished than I have ever felt before.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2019\/06\/IMG_6231.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4386\" src=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2019\/06\/IMG_6231-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2019\/06\/IMG_6231-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2019\/06\/IMG_6231-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2019\/06\/IMG_6231-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2019\/06\/IMG_6231-207x138.jpg 207w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2019\/06\/IMG_6231.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Trip of a Lifetime\u201d is a statement describing an adventure full of phenomenal experiences which then results in personal growth and memories that will last a lifetime.
