A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | This experience was everything I had hoped it would be and much more. I had an amazing time, but if you choose to travel to these countries, be prepared to wear-out your wallet. You may not think you'll spend a lot of money, but you most likely will. |
