Quynh-Mai Le (FSHN) Study Abroad

France Study Abroad Trip

 I'm currently a Junior in Hospitality Management. The summer of my freshman year, I went to France for a study abroad program to learn about winemaking. I attended classes with students from around the world, participated in wine tasting sessions, and interned on a vineyard! One of the great things about the program is that they take us on many excursions. Throughout my two months abroad, I traveled to Barcelona, Bordeaux, and many cities in between!

The photo below was taken on the roof of our hostel, right before we went hiking on the Pyrenees mountains. After walking across bridges and jumping over streams, we reached so far up that we were able to touch snow! That was what made the hike so rewarding. I would go back in a heartbeat if I could! It was such an amazing summer and I had so much fun!
