TESTIMONIALS
Listen to what they have to say!
Ching An Yang
Beijing, China
I went to Beijing, China for an environmental project as a Taiwanese American in the Summer of 2016. I was able to tour around the city, break the stereotypes, and bond with people with different cultures and religions, and ultimately widened my perspective of the world.
Dave Tran
Pordenone, Italy
Last summer I had an opportunity to travel to Pordenone, Italy to provide sports opportunities and activities to young children at a summer camp. I have to say it was a life-changing trip and I had an unforgettable experience meeting people around the world.
