TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS GARDEN TOUR PARTICIPANTS

“Definitely an experience of a lifetime. I met a lot of people and saw some of the most beautiful places on the planet and came home with memories that I will have for the rest of my life. I believe it was worth every penny and I now feel that I have new eyes to see with.”
~ Tara Wilson

“Studying abroad has been one of the most enlightening experiences of my college years. It opened my eyes to all of the opportunities out in the world. I met many interesting people, made a number of great friends, traveled to some of the most beautiful places on earth, and had fun doing it all. Everyone told me that studying abroad would change my life, especially the way I look at the world. Going into this program I thought I was assuming a bit much but it is totally correct. Seeing and living within another culture makes this a life changing event.”

"On the car ride home from the airport my mom asked me if the trip had been worth it. I wasn’t sure exactly what she meant (probably the money!) but it made me think. And yes, it was worth everything! It was worth working hard and saving money when I could have been out with friends. It was worth the frustration of packing and leaving my “comfort zone”. It was worth sitting on the plane and it was even worth the sickness that can come with traveling to a new country.

When you visit a place different from home you can’t help expanding your knowledge and understanding of the world and yourself. And, if you have the chance to travel with someone who has been there before it makes the experience much more valuable. If you haven’t studied abroad before, I would highly recommend it.”
