CIEE Cape Town is the most Beatiful City in the world. Past Review
By Vid V (Geography and Cartography., Clark University) for
CIEE: Cape Town - Arts and Sciences
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I loved it. South Africa is awesome. I really want to go back. Going to Cape Town allowed me to explore Africa, which is probably the continent I will least likely get to travel to in the future (because everywhere else is easier and much more accessible to me). So I am glad I can check a region of the world of my list of places I need to visit (although I really want to go back again!).
