"Our daughter arrived home full of stories about what an incredible time she had on her trip. She especially loved her host family stay in Lyon. They were incredibly kind and hospitable... They even e-mailed me to inquire whether she had arrived home safely and to say they already missed her."

"The trip was culturally enriching, great fun, a huge adventure and an invaluable opportunity for her to grow in self-confidence and independence, while traveling with the appropriate amount of supervision. The families, both in Toulouse and Montpellier, were warm and welcoming."

"In the week of immersion I learned more Spanish than I was able to in 3 or 4 months of classes in school, and I made a great connection with a family I will never forget. I really felt like I was a member of their family. Whenever I was nervous or uncomfortable they would always go out of their way to make me feel at home."
