I learned so much about how to live and work in a culture that was unfamiliar, how to navigate public transportation, how to budget and meal plan, how to plan cost-effective trips, and so much more. I feel confident that I could live in any country in the world because of this program. "

"It was a wonderful trip. It was very educational; I felt I left with a thorough knowledge of archaeology and Israeli history. This was particularly interesting to me, as a Christian, to see the places and learn about the time period Jesus lived in. This is not a spiritual trip at all, but can be very beneficial for someone wh..."

"It was worthwhile times 20! I gained knowledge of Spanish, independence, more confidence, much more wisdom. I would not have traded this trip for anything else. Samford really knows how to do these trips right, and another cliché one could add to this is, "You get what you pay for." Although these trips are pricey through Samfor..."
