Spring Break 2025 Participant
I loved getting to travel for the first time semi-independently. I learned so much from the alumni and mentors we talked to throughout the week. I enjoyed the company of my peers as well, I learned a lot from them and their insights to working abroad.

One of the most important things I learned is that you get out of the program what you put into it. It is important to go in with clear goals, be open to new experiences, and actively engage with the people you meet. Asking questions, being curious, and reflecting on what you learn each day can significantly enhance the experience. I also learned that you do not need to have everything figured out beforehand. The program is a great opportunity to explore different interests and perspectives.

I learned about a different culture in various aspects. The professional world, the shopping world, the food world, the social world, and simply navigating. Only go to this trip if you are interested in learning more about yourself and how to build a life outside of America. See how you would live and how you feel in various spaces. I have traveled before, but never for a professional trip. I found this interesting because it felt like "after work" I can go and do various activities. I guess I learned more abou thow I am on a fundamental basis and who I'm not.
