"My semester in Spain through Culture Crossing's homestay program truly changed my life. I arrived unsure how I'd pick up the language and navigate a new country. But my welcoming host family and guides made me feel supported from day one while also pushing me outside my comfort zone. Six months later, I left speaking Spanish and with lifelong friends."

"I was wary about solo travel as a woman, but the week in Morocco with Culture Crossing erased all my fears. Our amazing female guides were with us in the souks and medinas, setting up incredible behind-the-scenes experiences. I felt safe, pampered and had my eyes opened to incredible new perspectives."

"As a chef, the culinary immersion tour of Vietnam was a food lover's dream. We cooked regional dishes at a local cooking school, toured spice markets with a local guide, and even helped harvest rice with village farmers. An edible education I'll never forget!"
