Study trip to Brazil 2005
by: David Sinclair - United StatesProgram: Service Learning in Salvador da Bahia, BrazilI had a life changing experience on this trip! I learned so much about a different culture and lifestyle, music, and life lessons in general. The leader of this trip made it so much easier. This got me out of my comfort zone by far, and I don’t think I’d have done it without such excellent leadership and guidance. I loved this experience and so glad I did it!
An Unforgettable Experience
by: Rachel Baldwin - United StatesProgram: Service Learning in Salvador da Bahia, BrazilThis trip was the perfect combination of tourism and local culture immersion. From shows and sea turtle rescues to staying with locals and trying new local foods the variety gave us everything. The leaders made sure we were well prepared and felt safe while staying in a country while only knowing a little of the language. This was truly the experience of a lifetime.
