“While I served as a teacher at Colegio Americano, I actually learned many lessons myself. Immersed in Colombian culture, I learned about the people, heard intriguing stories, experienced new foods, danced to new music, and practiced different traditions. One of the most valuable lessons I learned while traveling abroad is that the very best currency we can share with others is our love and a smile. Travel changes you. It gives you a whole new perspective on the world and fosters an appreciation for others.”
