As an independent traveler, I have had the opportunity to travel to over a dozen countries. Some of my favorites have included Spain, France, the UK, Dominican Republic and South Korea. My favorite part of traveling is to learn more about the people, places, history, and art of a new place. This will be my third student tour with Explorica and my second trip to Spain.
