New Zealand and the entire study abroad experience has exceeded my expectations ten-fold. No matter how much homework you do before your trip, there will be things that surprise you and stretch your thinking - helping you to grow as an individual.

Studying and traveling abroad exposed me to countless opportunities to expand my knowledge of other cultures. The experience has opened doors for new career opportunity and taught me different ways to connect with others.

My six weeks in London were filled with memories, spontaneous adventures and so many unique opportunities that I could never have imagined.

Vanesha Blackburn, Ghana
I have enjoyed every moment of Ghana since we have landed.

Ireland is an incredibly beautiful country in every aspect of the word. Not only are the views breathtaking, but the Irish are some of the kindest, most generous people I have ever met. I would go again in a heartbeat.

During my time in Ourense, Spain I learned so much about myself and who I am as a teacher.

I taught at an International school with the Maastricht program. I was asked at the very beginning of my stay from an eight year old, "how many languages do you speak?" The young child I was conversing with was fluent in four different languages.
