Hey Tpunkers (newbie here)...I recently got invited to a
Student Ambassadors program. Its a 20 day visit to Europe (itenerary below) I was wondering if anyone here had done this before with their high school? What do you travel pros think? It this a good European appetizer? I want to travel after HS or college but not sure if the life is for me. Maybe this trip could help me get an idea. I am going to be 16 at the time of the trip (June or July 2005) What do you think?
