It Helped Me Grow Up

I've learned to be comfortable in my skin by going abroad with YFU. I met new people, made new connections, tried new things, and so much more. The best way to find yourself is to step away from what you know, and that's exactly what YFU let me do. I wouldn't trade the time I spent in Japan for anything in the world. I felt safe going to and from Japan, and connected with a safety net of YFU Representatives and volunteers throughout my entire journey, all while having my own sense of independence.
