The trip of a lifetime!
August 01, 2026by: Anna Frances Leake - United StatesProgram: Journey Through Western Europe
I learned so much about the countries I went to, but I learned even more about myself! I honestly was not prepared for the magnificence of that side of the world, and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to travel with Bethel. It was the most amazing experience, and I could not have asked for a better program or chaperone to guide me the entire time!
I’ve become a whole new person
August 01, 2026by: Vivian May - United StatesProgram: Journey Through Western Europe
This trip has taught me so many things. It has taught me to never shy away from an opportunity. It has taught me to be more empathetic and understanding of others. But most importantly it has brought me friends I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Being from Russia, especially its Asian part, I always loved and kind of had to travel because Russia is a huge country. If you wanted to go somewhere, the distances are enormous: several planes, a couple of buses, and maybe even a boat.

My family has been my motivation and inspiration to go abroad. I come from a family where most of us are complacent with small, everyday life. My family is split between living in Hickman, Kentucky, and Rutherford, Tennessee, both of which are generally very small towns. Most of my family has either worked in factories their whole life or in jobs that do not require a collegiate degree.

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.
