Most of what I learned was just about my own independence and many things that can't be put into words. I just feel changed, more responsible, capable, open to new experiences, and addicted to seeing more of the world. 100% worthwhile and am counting down the days until I can buy a plane ticket back!

Past Review A Time Of Exploration And Adventure Away From Home!

I learned how to live on my own. I learned how to advocate for myself and not depend on my professors for guidance or friends for guidance. I also became a new me through exploring new things I like to do such as camping and hiking and cooking. It was totally worthwhile! I will never forget my experience! A student - Bethel University
