My dream exchange program
by: Chloe Sewell - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad in Japan with Greenheart TravelThe staff at Greenheart are very helpful and that Greenheart can be well trusted.

My only advice for improvement is: allowing the students to get in contact with the school before departure so they know what to get for uniforms or instructions on how to get a prepaid SIM
I learned so much about myself and Japan, the country I love!
by: Molly Katz - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad in Japan with Greenheart TravelBe open minded and better yet, be prepared for the unexpected. Also go to your exchange country with an open mind. If you have a ton of expectations, you might find yourself disappointed when you realize that the country you now live in, or your host family aren't how you imagine them to be. As far as I know, I don't believe there is any need for improvement. Thank you for allowing me to have this amazing experience. I learned so much about myself and Japan, the country I love! Thanks again!
