Best experience of my life.

Apr 1, 2026

This trip has fundamentally changed me as a persona in every way possible, It has given me a amazing mindset, great physical and mental health, and a community to rely on across the world. With this experience you do things that you never thought were possible and you take that with you. You went across the world by yourself at such a young age, what else can you do? You learn to appreciate the little things, overcome obstacles and defy challenges greater than you ever thought imaginable. This is something I would recommend to everyone on all walks of like because it will benefit and re route your whole life.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Get out there. Use that public transportation a ND go everywhere. you will not have a good experience if you are in your room all day. Also, talk to the locals, they will be the ones you look back on the most fondly, they will show you things that other students would have no idea about. They know the community inside and out, let them teach you.
Pros
  • The cultural education and inclusion
  • The ability to travel and do day trips
  • The skills you gain
What other participants should know
  • The time difference
  • Schooling is a lot different
  • You will miss home

Seek Discomfort

Dec 9, 2024

I had always felt I was too shy or didn’t go out and do what I wanted, so braving up and accomplishing this experience was one of the most amazing, rewarding experiences I have ever done and it made me feel so good about myself. It not only made me feel more confident and comfortable in myself and new or awkward scenarios and allowed me to be open to lots of opportunities but it also introduced me to some of the nicest people ever who I developed long lasting relationships with and helped me choose what I want to do with my future, and where I would want to live.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I did this all over again, I would definitely make myself be more open, and ready to try a lot of new things and share with new people as I feel if i opened up more my relationships would last longer and be more strong.
Pros
  • Meeting New People
  • Trying New Food
  • Experiencing a New Culture
What other participants should know
  • Unfamiliar Home/Town
  • Away From Family
  • Different Curriculum
