Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times
My cultural trip to Italy with Zajel has taught different skills and how to break the ice by talking to other people and learning about their culture and beliefs. It has also enhanced my abilities in organizing overseas trips as I planned the daily schedule and used GPS to know how to visit the geographical locations, search for their opening/closing times and learn about their entrance fees. These activities train students on organizing events, improves their self-trust and enhances their field experience.

Communicating with Italian university students who introduced us to their home country and its cultural landmarks has taught us important Italian vocabulary. This has improved our communication skills and taught us more about the Italian culture and language.
We visited Leonardo da Vinci Museum in Rome. It is well known that da Vinci was a painter; however, painting was only a small part of his huge achievements. He invented many tools that were the cornerstones of modern math, physics, astronomy and weapons’ inventions.
European transportation system is a punctual system that respects people. It is well organized and transportation means take off precisely on time.
Visiting Florence was like a dream; I had always dreamed about visiting it since I was a kid. It is a historic and beautiful city. We also visited Venice which has a unique transportation system called “water bus”. We visited other cities and islands and all of them are all anciently unique.
