A trip to remember!

As a community member I had the best time being able to travel and learn about the culture and history along our trip. Our guide was amazing and extremely knowledgeable and was able to teach us a lot along the way! The itinerary was well thought out and planned for us and the students to really get the full experience I really hope that I will have another ability to travel again with this group, it was unforgettable!
Extravagant this was a lifetime experience that will be remembered for a long time.

Watching the Bethel youth group interact with people from other countries was truly amazing this week. Also, for people, my age it was a once in a lifetime experience that we wouldn’t be able to do if we didn’t have GACA and Bethel University



We had a wonderful time, very educational! Very good trip for students and others

I highly recommend this trip to any college student. What a great way to learn about things that you otherwise would not be able to do. There is something much to do on these trips as well as free time.

My first trip abroad was to Mexico when I was in college, studying Spanish. That experience changed everything for me; it brought the language to life and showed me how much we can learn by stepping outside our comfort zones.
