Testimonials

"There are no words to describe Colombia. People here are playful, they hug all the time and have a lot of love to give...I think the experiences we lived are important development for our personal selves."
Brisa Yoana Alzaga, 17, Participant, Mexico 

“I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better trip to Colombia... dream come true. I appreciate everything they did to make it so amazing and I’m not too sad because we’ll be running this trip every year now.”
Meredith Brady, Spanish Teacher, Pacific Ridge, United States.

"The homestay was an incredible way to legitimately connect with Colombians and discover what the culture is like. I was beyond lucky to be spoiled by an incredibly open, loving, and kind family."
