"As a person living in the US there is so much to learn from other cultures especially when it pertains to food and health. The past can teach us so much about how we should be eating and living now. This program gave me a taste of what eating a true Mediterranean diet means. "

"I learned how different the world is outside of America. I had been to Europe before, but only by living in another country for an extended period of time can you understand the different cultural nuances.
