With England crammed into a landmass slightly smaller than the state of Oregon, it can be deemed a tiny island, but where it lacks in size the people make up for it in productivity. This may be an understatement considering England was at the forefront of the industrial revolution and at one time colonized approximately two fifths of the globe. Today, England remains one of the most influential nations in Western society. London, the financial center and capital city of England and quite possibly the entire world, is also a modern marvel filled with historical landmarks and spectacular sights. Although you should definitely visit London while in England, any native will assure you that there is much more to this proud nation than the city of London. The expansive countryside covering much of England is filled with classic towns, each with authentic pubs and the finest fish and chips imaginable. Also in the countryside, stands Britain's most fabled national monument, Stonehenge. The creators of this world wonder are not known for certain, however, historians date the construction of this massive stone structure back some 5,000 years. Centuries of tradition stockpiled on such a small island affords the travel enthusiast the opportunity to discover enough historical findings and cultural nuances for several lifetimes. If that's not enough to satisfy you, the rest of Europe is a stones throw away.

Although the world's smallest continent, Australia is an influential global power in the west and increasingly, Asia. Once inhabited by indigenous peoples, the continent was colonized by the British in the late 1700's  and used as a penal colony for convicted criminals following its discovery by Thomas Cook during an expedition to the region. As the exportation of criminals to Australian shores came to an end in 1864, the nation began to rapidly modernize.

Today, Australia is a nation of diversity. The continent's six distinct regions offer stunning rainforests, arid deserts, sandy beaches, and vibrant cities. Off the coast of Queensland in northeastern Australia, The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system of its kind in the world. The Australian people, while once exclusively of British and Irish origins, now represent a wide range of cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Recent immigration trends from the surrounding Asia Pacific region have altered the ever changing face of this fascinating nation.

Sydney, the country's largest city, is symbolic of all the best that Australia has to offer. Beautiful beaches, fantastic nightlife, and a unique urban energy combine to provide a fantastic study abroad destination waiting to be explored – all that's missing is you!

Learn Spanish and enjoy the culture in Spain

Spain was home to a variety of independent kingdoms and cultures until the year 711, when the Moslems began their occupation. For nearly seven long centuries, Christians from the north banded together in an attempt to re-conquest the territory. The movement culminated in 1492 when the Christians seized Granada, the last Spanish city to be occupied by the Moslem empire. This seizure is said to have forged modern day Spain by unifying several formerly independent kingdoms and cultures. Spain is now host to incredible echoes of the past due to its tumultuous history and once vast empire. Its colorful past has shaped Spain into the passionate nation that it is today; a nation renowned for death defying bullfighters and fiery flamenco dancers.

Today, over forty million travelers per year visit Spain to indulge in the numerous cultures that can be found within its borders. The co-mingled Christian and Islamic cultures in the South, the modernist Catalan culture in the Northeast, and the Portuguese influenced Galician culture in the Northwest are just a few of the many different flavors of Spain. If you talk to one of Spain's travelers they will undoubtedly attest that the magnificent culture of the people only accents the breathtaking scenery of the countryside. From the pristine beaches of San Sebastian to the vivacious lifestyle of the nation's capital, from the rolling hills and gypsy dens of Andalucia to the plains dotted with vineyards and small villages in the north, Spain has something special to offer any adventurous traveler.
