The reasoning behind it all!

So I guess I forgot to give a good introduction to our trip! For those of you who don't know already, Gracia and I started planning this trip about a year ago when we found out we both wanted to study abroad. From there we settled on Prague, in the Czech Republic, for its central location in Europe and thus easy access to lots of travel! The plan is to take a full 15 credit hour semester at the Anglo-American University of Prague (no worries, the classes are all in English!) while we have the opportunity to see parts of Europe and experience a different culture. The trip will be a full four months, January 26th to May 29th. Once in Prague, we will be staying in an apartment about 30 mins away from the school- we will shortly become very familiar with the public transportation in the city!  Although this will be a stretch out of our comfort zone, we are really excited to start this long-awaited adventure...
There's an overview, many details to come!
