For some, the excitement of travel is enough to distract them through even the most painful layovers and delays. For the rest of us, we need a little assistance to help us make it through the flight. We asked our EF travelers for the best ways to keep it together at 20,000 ft., and here’s ...
OK. So some might think it unfair to describe Greece truly as ”paradise” given the turbulent economic and political state of the country. We hear that sensationalized in foreign media. But after a week of overwhelmingly scenic vistas and being surrounded by cultural vibrancy, I let my foreign media bias succumb to new love for Hellas (“Greece”). It’s been two ...
Soon people all over the world will raise a glass (and likely a ruckus) to honor the patron saint of Ireland. If you hear the bagpipes calling but you can’t get to the green isle, rest assured there are plenty of shamrocks and Guinness to go around, no matter where you are. U.S. The Irish ...

Imagine 40 professors from across America—strangers to each other and linked by one academically adventurous spirit—stepping out of the airport and into the streets of Paris. ...
