Adventure of a Lifetime

I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a life-changing adventure with Global Glimpse to the Dominican Republic, the heart of the Caribbean . This immersive trip turned out to be a remarkable fusion of cultural exploration, community engagement, personal growth, and unforgettable memories. From the moment we landed in Santo Domingo, the vibrant energy of the Our dedicated group leaders seamlessly facilitated our immersion into the community, ensuring that we embraced every facet of this beautiful country. The heart of the trip was undoubtedly the community action projects we participated in. Working alongside local residents, we collaborated on projects that left a tangible impact on the lives of the people we encountered. Other trips had different projects then ours but ours was to construct a park, by the request of the people
But the journey was more than just labor; it was an emotional trip that changed our perspectives of our daily lives. We learned about the challenges they face politically and economically. On top of that, the cultural immersion component was equally enriching. Through dance workshops where we learned bachata, meringue and salsa, to language exchanges with locals, and daily Dominican meals. The highlight was connecting with local families who generously welcomed us into their homes and communities, offering insights into their daily routines.
Global Glimpse also ensured that we explored the stunning natural beauty of the Dominican Republic. From the lush waterfalls and beaches to the quiet inland nature and sounds of the yaque river we explored the Dominican republic coast to coast. Not only were we focused on the enticing sights of nature, we were able to go into town and interact with locals in shops, bakeries and supermarkets.
This trip was able to build lifelong friendships with people I would not normally be around and helped me grow as a person.
