"Go young, go often, and go long": Anne Atheling's Advice to Young Travelers

Anne Atheling’s advice to other travelers can best be summed up as follows: “Go young, go often, and go long.” A Barnard graduate of the class of 1950, she studied abroad at Reid Hall in the Summer of 1949 with the Smith Junior Year Abroad program, one of the first post-WWII and in the same year as future First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier. As she puts it, this “kicked off a life-long love of everything French.” From May to October 1950 she hosteled alone throughout Europe. It then took her 50 years to return to France. On one of her now-regular trips to Paris since 2000, she tells us about the impact of study abroad on her life, her love of solo travel, and the importance of independent thinking.Find us elsewhere:Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisGet our newsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisX (formerly Twitter) - x.com/cgcpariscenterLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparis/Facebook - facebook.com/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHost: Marie DoezemaProduction: Marie Doezema and Charlotte ForceEditing: Chris KnappMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.
