Hello Everybody!

My name is Hannah Davis and I’m a current senior at the University of Montana that is majoring in Theater and a minor in Music. This spring semester for my junior year, I went to Athens Greece for my Beyond the classroom experience. For four months, I have partaken a few gen ed classes, a theater class and music classes at the American College of Greece including a social inequality class for an approvement on my inequality and human rights topic for my global theme. Also, I was able to find a club that involved with womans rights and a foundation for woman to do fundraisers and show the empowerment of working together known as the American Woman of Greece.

Coming to Greece was a process to be experiencing air travel to another country and being able to get through to my next destination was worth it. I was able to meet my new roommates and I had great time getting to know them. It took me time to adjust being away from home and my roommate was so kind and respectful to what I was going through. Soon, the Adjustment became like a second home and that my roommates were like family.

I got to perform in a concert for the music program over there and went to go see a musical known as the Phantom of the Opera. Certain activities I did was going to gift shops on the islands, took tours that were being offered in places I was at, went clubbing for the first time and went island hopping. My island-hopping experience was so much! I met a lot of great people on the ship including trying great food, great company, adventure a little bit on the islands, got to see dolphins and went swimming in the beautiful blue ocean.

I had visited places that were very historical, breathtaking and I had so much fun. I was to afford going to travel different places and islands that were offered such as Italy, Crete, Seces and Many more. From Historical downtown Athens that had a lot of stores, people, wonderful Cuisine and very creative artists on the street. The Athens temple to Parthenogen had such an historical background and mythological effect towards making truly beautiful. I was able to visit the city of Delphie was so beautiful and being to learn how certain parts of them that was run by leaders, kings, and mythological gods.

Above All, this beyond experience had been Absolutely amazing and Unforgettable! I learned more about myself as a person and being able to explore my horizons on this journey of exploring new possibilities. I truly enjoyed my experience and I’m still shocked that I went to one of the most beautiful places in the world and I still miss it. It’s Worth It!
