Luckily my kids will have US and UK passports! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-study-abroad#post-690263 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:35:23 +0000 MamaBehr 690263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In High School I did three weeks in Costa Rica and the summer between my junior and senior year I studied in Bath, England. </p> <p>LOVEDDDD IT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-study-abroad#post-690250 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:29:49 +0000 Turd Ferguson 690250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Waaay back in 8th grade I spent a semester in Dubai, and then did a few weeks in Finland when I was in college.
