"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.”
