The LITA Experience

My sumer with LITA was an experience I will never forget. Before the trip I was super nervous because I was the youngest student with the least experience on the trip. The program directors were very clear and communicative every step of the process and made me feel very safe. As soon as I showed up at the airport, all of the students and group leaders welcomed me and we bonded quickly. One thing I would say about the experience was that you got from it what you put into it. I, along with my fellow students, was very dedicated to speaking only Spanish and this program helped me immensely with that. My host family was incredible and so understanding of the time I needed to adapt to the difference in culture. They taught me so much history of the town we were staying in as well as the country of Spain. Everyday was a new adventure and it was everything I wanted and more.
