“I came into this class and travel program as someone with limited travel experience and unsure how I would handle interactions with others from halfway around the globe. I leave this class and travel program as someone who is more confident to explore other countries with an open mind and express sincere interest in other cultures.”
“I came into this class and program as someone who just wanted to learn a little more about other cultures. I leave this class and program as someone more open, more understanding, and more expressive. I also leave with new friendships and qualities that are hard to describe, because the people I met gave me so much that I can never truly repay.”
