My original plan was to go to Tunisia. It is frustrating that a majority of the Arab speaking world is unattainable due to security challenges. Having been to 8 different Arab countries I believe that they all provide something unique and benificial that can only be experienced from living and experiencing the culture and lifestyle in each country.
@johndoe1234My friend received the Boren and took a week off the go on a 'vacation' halfway around the world in the middle of his program, although I'm sure the rules always change.
