I learned a great deal about overcoming personal adversity, as well as about the wonderful archipelago of Indonesia, especially beautiful Bali and Java and the wonderful people who made me feel welcome there. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how resilient and independent I can be. I had never traveled that far by myself, and I ended up being okay! I learned so much about a culture I had never experienced, and grew in so many different ways. A student - Amherst College View Entire Review

I learned to check my privilege and to get outside of what I deemed my comfort zone A student - Austin College View Entire Review
New families all the way across the world, new friends, an appreciation for Indonesian culture, and so many amazing memories. I would do it 100 times over again if I had the chance. A student - Washington and Lee University View Entire Review
I learned how to cope with stress, how to give up on plans and go with the flow, and how to connect with someone from a wildly different culture. It was entirely worthwhile. Azurite Montgomery - Cornell College View Entire Review
So very much. A completely different perspective on the world from the SE Asian vantage point, learning first hand about the problematic nature of post-colonialism and tourism, wonderful friends, teachers and contacts and a love of this part of the world that I didn't really know existed.

I became a calmer, less worried, less frantic, more patient, more loving, more open, happier person because of my experience abroad. I learned to treat everything in life as a learning experience and to approach things and people without expectations or reservations. Cathleen Calderón - Yale University View Entire Review
