Overall I really enjoyed this trip. Our guides were great and it was wonderful to travel with like minded people. The small group sizes made bonding easy and made for a very enjoyable trip. The activities were good and allowed for us to see most of what the cities had to offer.
This trip taught me so much about not only other cultures in this world and the history behind them, but about myself and the person that I can shape myself to be in this world. The people, experiences, and places that this trip offers is truly life changing in the best way possible. I had the most incredible experience and will be going on another trip as soon as I can.
