Jess McClelland Appalachian State University
"I learned so much about sustainability through community, and simply the importance of love and community in all our different interactions. "

A student University of Massachusetts Amherst / UMass
"I am more certain in my beliefs, my passions, and the direction I want to take my life. I have a better understanding of sustainability and community and what it means to be a citizen in this global web. It was more than worth it. "

Ashley T University of Maine at Orono
"I learned so much about Icelandic culture and lifestyle. I had the opportunity to work alongside the home people of Solheimar and experience living in a fully sustainable community. I have been empowered to change individually and push others to change as well-sustainability efforts. I learned how to be a traveler rather than a ..."
A student The College of William and Mary
