PORTUGAL 2016
Portugal, known for its history, codfish, and enriching culture. Shannon Bennett had the opportunity to travel with the illustrious Spelman College to experience what many will never experience in a lifetime. Though this was an educational trip but Shannon was able to observe family culture. In doing so she realized the value they place on a family in Portugal. Compared to the U.S., Portuguese children live with their parents until they get married, this could be 25 years or older! (There's nothing wrong with staying at home). While family is everything, the food is just as important. The Seafood is to die for! Not only are they known for their fresh codfish but Shannon believe she had the one of best Sangrias ever! Check out Shannon's awesome photos from Portugal!
“It was so delicious out there”
TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
Shannon travels to Trinidad a lot because of her distant family. On her recent trip she brought her friend so she could experience her family cultures and customs.
“I had a great time showing her my culture”
Thank you Shannon for being my traveler of the week!!
