“I am looking forward to travelling to Kentucky. This is somewhere that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to visit had I not been taking part in this group study exchange. I am looking forward to all the huge spectrum of people that I will be meeting. I would also like to go on a paddle steamer should the opportunity arise.”
