Winter Break 2019 Participant
The cultural experiences were amazing!

Stacy Tinner, Winter Break 2019 Participant
On this program I learned that as a student it is important that you can adapt to a different culture quickly. The student should not go to a different country and expect to be able to act in the same manner as they do in the United States. This skill of adapting and having a general level of respect for the culture will make the experience a lot easier.

Stacy Tinner, Winter Break 2019 Participant
My favorite part of this program was interacting with the people of the country. For example, I had a wonderful host family who spoke only Portuguese. I was afraid that my limited knowledge of the language would be detrimental to my experience. Contrarily, I knew a lot more than I gave myself credit for and learned a great deal from simply interacting with my family. This gave me the confidence to do things like order food, taxis and ask questions whenever I needed anything. I am truly grateful for them.
