This was an incredible experience!

I really enjoyed all of the cultural visits. Castles and forts are my favorite places to explore and we had plenty of those during this trip. We were constantly busy either with field trips or working in the classroom. A typical day would include about one to two hours in the classroom; going out to a site to picnic in the grass or outside a castle; then exploring and learning about the site.
The work load was very reasonable and we were provided with all of the information we needed to complete it. Also, we were given feedback on our completed work and were given the opportunity to make revisions. This extra step was incredibly helpful for me because it allowed me to better understand certain concepts and truly understand the processes that take place during habitat management.
The only difficulty I encountered was when my foot started hurting the first week and remained in pain for about a week. So this made hiking up hills very difficult, but our instructor was very accommodating and was willing to walk at a slower pace.
Overall, this was a great experience and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in this field. It is a great way to learn about the policies and practices of another country.
