The Experiment Digital: International Virtual Exchanges

It was an amazing trip. I met so many amazing people and learned a lot of new things. We traveled to a bunch of different cities/towns in Italy. We took a few language classes before we did a homestay. The families were amazing, I felt like I was family. The highlight of the trip was the multiple cooking classes we did with an amazing chef to guide us. We also got to eat all the food after!?

During my Spain 3 week travel, I really felt that it irrevocably changed me for the future. For example, the amount of independence and confidence I gained is something that it didn't necessarily expect. From flying domestically by myself and navigating the streets of busy Spain, I was forced to be able to navigate independently and find my place in a foreign country. My host family was additionally very kind, and truly made me feel welcome in their home. The new Spanish friends that I made I still keep in contact with today, as they made an honest effort to make me feel included. Overall, I would definitely recommend this program to students who want a very new experience and to understand a culture different from their own.

it was a wonderful experience in every way! All the activities and meetings were very well thought out, and I gained a lot of knowledge from each one of them. I learned a lot about climate change and how is it directly connected other social problems, and now I know what actions I must take to really make a change. In addition, I learned a lot about the culture and customs of each of the participants, and made many friends! The support team was also incredible and very welcoming, I loved this experience!
