Prague is amazing. period. Past Review
By Lisa H (Radio-Television-Film, The University of Texas at Austin) for
University of Texas - Austin: Prague - Prague Documentary Photography
Yes, it was very worthwhile. It gave me insight on other cultures and gave me a sense of independence as cliche as it may sound. I've learned not to be so reliable on others and to learn to find my way around different countries without knowing much of the language. It makes me want to continue traveling and documenting my travels so much more.
