French trip/exchange?

Question

Hi

I have 2 different trips that I'm focused on, but i don't know which one to go on.

At my school, there is a 2 week long trip that goes to France, Spain, Africa and Germany. It is a lot of moving around quickly and flying considering you only stay 1-2 nights in Africa and Germany and the rest is in Paris and Spain and I'm not too sure weather id like to run around like that all fast paced, have i mentioned i DREAD flying??

Or, there is a French exchange that goes for 1 month. they come here for one month and i go there for one month. I speak French fairly well and i absolutely love it. I really want to go there to be in the culture and the food and improve my French and everything. I will be traveling by myself and i have never done this before.

Which one would you guys recommend? I'm really curious

Answer 1

From what I read in your question, for you the exchange will be better.

You write that you will not have time to see the place you will travel through in the trip, and I agree, 4 countries in 2 weeks is a little mad. You will have on average about 2 days in each of the countries, because the rest of the time you are traveling between them.

The exchange will give you time to get to know France a little better, you will have a longer time over in Europe and it is even likely to cost less.

I think that exploring Europe can wait till you come back, one day in the future, that for now the exchange is the better option.

  Choose n°2 - that's the answer you want - n°1 is insane
