Samantha C The College of William and Mary
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I now know I love to travel and that I want to do it more frequently. Australia does not present as big of a culture shock as other parts of the world, but the culture and beliefs still varied, were consciously noted, and I greatly value the new perspectives they have given me."

"More than I can say in this box. One gain is my Spanish language level, which has improved significantly. On another level, my eyes were opened to so many different cultures (from traveling, which I also did around the country and to Morocco), I made a bunch of great friends, and learned how to live a little more independently. ..."
