I’m dying to get to Prague. It’s next on my list of places to go and, from what I hear, a veritable fairytale setting worth a visit for far more reasons than the so-often-advertised low price tag. Thinking back, I can’t believe I didn’t place it high on my itinerary of study abroad destinations.
Had I [...]
