I consider this experience to not be life-changing, but more of a life upgrade. I made so many new friends and connections, gained perspective into a new culture's attitudes and approaches to life, and taken away a love and appreciation for exploring the world. As a Type 1 diabetic, traveling far away from home and my doctors was daunting. However, I felt safe and taken care of in this program. I think this is the best way to venture into the unknown when you’re a first-time solo traveler. Now that I know international travel is not only accessible for me but also that it is not as scary as I originally anticipated, the doors have been opened for me to confidently explore the world on my own.
