Traveling: Not just Fun but a time to Learn

Today I leave the United States and make my way to central Europe. I will be exploring the streets of Berlin, Warsaw, Krakow, Prague and Munich. But this is not just a sight seeing trip. This is for a class and we have been studying Nazi and Soviet propaganda. But along with this, I am hoping to learn some history.

Before I started college, I was told that the best way to study history is to go to where it took place. I went to Ireland to learn about the Irish war for independence. I went to Greece to learn about Minoan culture. Now I'm going to Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic to learn about the Third Reich and what life was like behind the Iron Curtain.

I'm excited and know that I will have a lot of fun. History is my passion and I love to learn. This blog will chronicle my journey as well as all of the fun history I want to share with you after this trip. 

History is always present.
