"Yes! Better understanding of how people in other parts of the World live and their ideals, customs, beliefs, and values.

You learn about yourself significantly when you're pushed outside of your comfort..."
Jessica O California State University - Chico
"I learned Spanish. I learned to dance Salsa. I became a better photographer and took some of the most stunning photos ever. I saw some amazing animals, hiked through the rainforests, and rafted though the rivers. Overall, the pros far outweighed the cons, but if I were to have done it again, I would have gone somewhere else."
