Visit France
One place I have always wanted to visit was France. I had an opportunity once to go to France and Spain for a summer, but I couldn’t gather tha $1200 in time. After that Jay and I decided we would go on our own, but I can guess it will be considerably more expensive when not part of a tour. I really envy those who get to backpack through Europe for a year or so.
I don’t know anything about getting a hotel in France, but I imagine it’s much like getting one in America. There are websites where you can book online, and that’s how I prefer to do it anyway. I’m a little scared about all the price differences and such, it seems like there’s a real learning curve your first time out of the states. The only time I have ever gone to another country is Canada.
I think if I were to go to France I would have to get my hotel in Paris. Although, the Nice hotels do seem to be a bit cheaper. I took French for 5 years in school but I’d be lucky to remember anything about the country itself. That kind of bothers me, too, because all through school I was learning how to speak this language and learning nothing about the country, its culture, or its people.
Have you ever been to France? Was it amazing?
