CIEE South Korea and Taiwan Peace and Diplomacy

This last few weeks I was lucky enough to go to CIEE's South Korea and Taiwan Peace and Diplomacy program. Over the course of this program I feel like my confidence in my own independence has grown dramatically. I enjoyed making new friends, experiencing new foods and cultures, and learning all the way. The most interesting part of this program was talking to local residents of both countries, especially residents of South Korea. The knowledge I learned from them was fascinating and I could not wait to bring that information home to share with my parents and friends. I have always been interested in foreign countries and foreign cultures, and this trip was a perfect way to go out of my comfort zone and visit these places in a fun and safe way. All of the CIEE staff were very nice and very accommodating, and I can not wait to go back!
