This Spring semester (2018) myself and several other students taking Professor Swanson\u2019s\u00a0History of Minorities in Eastern Europe class had the unique opportunity to travel to Hungary.\u00a0This was my first time travelling outside of the country and it was no doubt an experience I will\u00a0never forget. We toured multiple cities and villages, and were exposed to an array of beautiful\u00a0scenery and architecture I don\u2019t think anywhere else has to offer. Aside from the general touristy activities I had expected to participate in, my class was able to meet with members of the\u00a0communities we were researching and interview them for a documentary. Budapest was the most\u00a0beautiful city I have ever been. The Danube river cuts right through the heart of the city and is a\u00a0sight I had a hard time ever walking away from. We took train rides through the country and\u00a0were surrounded by cascading hills along the way. Having the opportunity to actually discuss\u00a0and learn from people\u2019s perspectives that we otherwise would not have had the opportunity to\u00a0meet was invaluable.<\/p>\n

Studying abroad, even briefly, both reiterated my beliefs about the importance of travel and challenged any preconceptions I may have had prior about what to expect. You can think that you have a decent amount of knowledge regarding the history of a\u00a0place because you maybe took a class about it but that pales in comparison to being immersed in\u00a0that place\u2019s culture, language, and communities. Getting to actually speak with the Roma\u00a0communities in a village we learned about and attend a Jewish service at a small synagogue in\u00a0Budapest were experiences that made me feel so much more connected to this world and the\u00a0people in it. I cannot do justice to or fully describe how this touched my life but I can truly
\nsay that I grew as a person from this trip.<\/p>\n

We are conditioned to think that everyone is so\u00a0different from one another and that humans are all a certain way but that simply is not true.\u00a0While there are certainly differences that make us unique it is important to recognize that\u00a0these differences should not hinder our ability to learn from each other and going to Hungary\u00a0really emphasized that for me.<\/p>\n
