“This exchange program is a once in a lifetime experience that opens your eyes to the world, and also brings a deeper send of self, and brings you closer with those you love. It is absolutely a must do for anyone who seeks to improve themselves, and it will absolutely change your life for the better! Hope to see you abroad sometime!!

“I could not have asked for a better host family. They make me feel so at home. Being an exchange student when you are young teaches you so many things about yourself and changes the way you relate to the world and others. Also going abroad and learning bout the history of different places teaches you so manythings you could not learn by sitting in class. The stories are no longer pictrues in a history textbook but tangible memories I will remember for life. Everyday is a new adventure and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year has in store!
Madison – Madrid, Spain
“I have seen so many amazing places, like Paris, Berlin, Rome, Florence, Munich and Vienna. Places I have only read about and they have been one fo the highlights of this experience. The people I have met are another thing that made this trip so great. I have made some great friends here and will be keeping in touch wwith them when I return to Canada.
