My trip with TFT in Spain was incredibly fun, engaging and educational. I walked off the plane, having landed in Madrid, not knowing what to expect. For me, this was a totally new experience, with a new program, with new people. In other words, I went in blind. Throughout my trip however, these new people soon became both friends and mentors for life. From an educational standpoint, each day I took about 4 hours worth of Spanish language classes which were enjoyable and engaging. These classes had a range of styles for all types learners: lectures and note taking, hands on visual activities, and interactive scavenger hunts on the streets of Spain. When these classes ended, the fun was just beginning. Each afternoon, there were super fun events, encompassing a range of interests and free time to see more of the various Spanish cities. In all, this was a super fun experience that I’ll remember for my whole life.
What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I would challenge future travelers of this program to expand and leave their comfort zone. There were various instances throughout my three weeks in Spain where I was trying something new, whether that be an activity or a food, and each time the results were positive. Thus, to all future travelers, challenge yourself and try something new
