Arguably the coolest and most unique part of The European Union Program is the immense amount of traveling you get to do with this amazing group of people allowing you to learn so much in the places you're studying while also getting so close to new friends.
 
Last week we visited the homes of several European Union institutions, reinforcing all we've been learning in our EU Integrative Seminars back in Freiburg. In Luxembourg we visited the Court of Justice and European Investment Bank. Brussels houses most of the institutions including, the Commission, Council, and more. We had several class-specific meetings in Brussels as well. Paris was more of a bonus because in addition to visiting the European office for the International Monetary Fund, we had about a day and a half of free time.

<p>Hello! I&#39;m Kimberly Webber, an International Business Leadership major at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA, off roaming around Freiburg and surrounding areas for the semester! My biggest values are happiness and genuine relationships so I can usually be found in a campus cafe, socializing while pretending to do homework; at work, socializing; or hanging out in my sorority house, socializing! In my off-hours I&#39;m a portrait photographer where my greatest accomplishments include catching my subjects off-guard and eliciting a genuine smile or laugh. I look forward to documenting my experiences abroad and hope you enjoy all the photos and videos you see here!</p>
