Traveling through so many different parts of Australia, as well as New Zealand's south island, was a great experience too. Definitely go to New Zealand and Cairns (near the reef and rain forest) if you can, they were probably ..."

A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about being independent and prioritizing. Although I learned so me of this at Middlebury, living on your own in a foreign country really teaches you how to take care of yourself and manage your time/priorities.

"I gained a lot of independence "
A student Middlebury College
"I know some of these are going to sound cheesy but I learned more about my own prejudices and misconceptions about people. This experience challenged my thinking about the U.S., Russia, Soviet times, propaganda, culture, religion, etc. I learned just how we assume things about each other and the history we learn in classrooms is..."

I strongly recommend that this p..."
Ben H Middlebury College
"It was SO worthwhile. I learned so much about myself and gained a lot of perspective on the things that do and don't matter to me. However ironic, there is something very freeing about living minimally in a tiny bunk on a boat. You don't need much to be happy!! This trip was amazing because it made me readjust my values for the ..."
