Gabrielle Marie Javier, Winter Break 2017 Participant
Learning about the different religions in Cuba and how they intertwine coherently with their culture.

Alan Michael Borkon, Winter Break 2016 Participant
Being able to visit a country that up until recently had been forbidden and for many years considered the evil empire was priceless. The instructor, Tim Hossler, was superb. He was organized, detail oriented and up on every aspect of Cuban culture and architecture. Most importantly, at all times he had the students best interest and safety at the top of the agenda. He was able to add facts and details that enhance our understanding of the experience.

Winter Break 2019 Participant
My favorite part was being able to be fully immersed in the culture. Also, the food. The food in Cuba was glorious. Not sure what it was about Cuban food but even like the simplest foods, like tomatoes, had so much more flavor to them.
