A book and many class disccusions on heritage, authenticity, interpretation and destination management are even in EMTM not the same as the experience of visiting a destination through the eyes of a tourist and destination manager. In the light of the courses on Cultural Heritage, lectured by Timothy Dallen, and Destination Management, by Louis Mundet, the students of generation 2014-16 were divided into three groups, visiting the Catalonia region.
Barbora, the Danish country representative, wrote a story on her experience on the field trip.

EMTM is a two-year away-from-home experience. That unknown away-from-home place, in Kolding, Ljubljana, Girona and wherever EMTM takes you, becomes your new home. Sadly, this means also leaving people behind. Everyone who is reading this post right now has probably experienced this feeling in one way or the other. Tjasa, a Slovenian student, wrote a very personal piece on Erasmus Mundus and the meaning of friends. When I was first leaving my home country to join the EMTM circus, my group of friends was my life and meaning. We had the whole going-away-party extravaganza, with UNO tournament, presents and my awesome lasagna (I make a mean lasagna, by the way, just dropping that in). In the next few days, I was off to new adventures in Denmark – it wasn't my first time living abroad, but we weren't as close with the group as we were at the beginning of my EMTM.
