Best experience of my life!

I am so glad I got the opportunity to study abroad with CYA this past summer. My course was Tasting Culture: Mediterranean and Nordic Cuisine. We learned all about food, the culture that surrounds it, the discourses associated with different foods, and about ethnographic versus Instagrammable pictures. By living in Athens, you are surrounded by such a rich history in the Greek architecture of the Acropolis and the best Mediterranean food you could imagine. We also took a four-day trip to Ikaria, but I could have stayed there for an entire month. It was beautiful and so enriching to see a less-traveled island and how that culture compares to the mainland. I would not trade my study abroad experience for the world and I constantly find myself going back and looking at old pictures for some instant serotonin.
