"When I first found out that I was accepted for the Experiment’s Ecuador trip, I was absolutely overjoyed. However, I don’t believe it actually hit me that I was going away for an entire month without anyone that I knew. It certainly was a bit overwhelming and daunting when I came to that realization. Now, after having experience..."

I learned about the history of slavery and colonialism within Ghana and how that has current, long-standing effects on Ghanaian culture. I definitely gained a greater sense of nuance and understanding around Ghana and i..."

Najjiyya Peddie School
"One of the best experiences ever!"
Dorcas
"Before Nicaragua and Cuba, I knew I was never really immersed in culture. Although I live in New York, which is considered a well-known "melting pot", I knew I was missing something. During the summer of 2015, I discovered the missing ingredients when I was abroad in Cuba and Nicaragua. Although the program had the intended less..."

"This past summer I went on a five week trip to Tanzania with eleven other students I had never met before and it was an invaluable experience. This trip was focused on language and cultural discovery so we would have daily Swahili lessons and were always learning about the new areas we traveled to. As a group we really clicked r..."

Amy Bowles
"I chose to go on an Experiment trip to learn about the world, but in the process, learned more about my country and myself than I would have ever imagined.
