People to People Student Ambassador trip 2009?
This summer I am going on a people to people trip to England, Ireland, Wales, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Now with the trip quickly approaching, I'm getting really excited but also super nervous! Has anyone been on one of these trips before?? Do you have any advice on some things that I might overlook while packing?? How many pictures did you take appx.? Thanks!!

I went on a People to People trip in 2005 to Australia. I absolutely loved it! People to People is really an amazing program. You've got nothing to be nervous about. When it comes to packing, make sure you really look at the list that you're given, and have everything on it. Don't over pack, because you're the one that will be carrying your stuff around, no one is going to do it for you. As for pictures, my trip to Australia I only took like 300 pictures, but that's something I regret. Last summer I went to Europe with a different program, and only for 10 days, and took close to 1400 pictures. So be prepared to be snapping photos all the time, especially with the amazing places you'll be going to! Have fun!

Best way to go about communication while I'm visiting Europe?

Best way to go about communication while I'm visiting Europe?
This summer, I'm visiting Europe through a Student Ambassador Program. I will be spending time in England, Wales, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Ireland. Currently, I have an LG EnV3, with unlimited calling, text messaging, and Internet capabilities. I was wondering if anybody knew what some reasonable ideas were to communicate with people back at home in the USA during my trip. Will I have cell phone reception while in Europe? I will be away for nineteen days. Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated!

Honestly leave your phone off and just enjoy your time there as much as you can. You will be able to fill your friends in when you get home. And buy a calling card to use at a pay phone to talk to your parents.

I visited Europe last summer on a sports trip> if you are expecting to call home, it will cost more and you will need to contact your cell phone company for further details on how to get service overseas. Some companies do not have service out of the US, so it would be wise of you to find out as soon as possible. Another good way of communication is email. If you are staying in a nice hotel in Europe, they usually supply at least one computer. Especially since you are going with a student program, they should make sure communication is available. I'm sorry but I'm not sure if you can text overseas, it sounds very unlikely. But you can also purchase calling cards when you get to Europe, where you can call home with however many minutes you have on your card. If i remember correctly, it was either an American dollar or maybe a little more per minute to call home with the cell phone service. Well, I hope I helped. Enjoy your trip :)

Check with your cell provider to make sure your phone is compatible with European systems in the countries you will visit. I had no problem, except for some reason I couldn't get my voicemail messages and racked up some expenses trying to access it. Also, calls were about 90¢ a minute because I was out of my area. I even had calls billed from a country I didn't visit because I happened to connect to a service over the border! I found it better to just periodically send an e-mail to my address list saying I'm OK. It was good to turn the phone off for often several days at a time and just enjoy my travels without feeling the need to always be a slave to an electronic device. You may wish to do the same. It is not important to be in 24/7 contact when you are traveling. Your attention is always wandering to your phone instead of appreciating the cultures you are visiting. Have a great trip!

Best way? Thats what i'm talking about

Its not your phone its your service, personally ive stuck with t-mobile for years because i know my phone has worked in every country ive been to for the last 6 years. Make sure your phone is "unlocked" before you travel and that your service will work in all those areas.

The Netherlands are big as far as foreign exchange programs go, Sweden would be cool because of your heritage, and Austra would be a great choice if you are into history, art, and music (Mozart was born there, Beethoven lived there for a time, and a lot of art was made there). Those would be my choices. Between the three, I would choose Austria because I am a history/music buff.

Switzerland, have the best things anyway, respected neutral country m, which education worth a lot
