Loved Berlin!

I really enjoyed my time here in Berlin. I was able to meet new people and make new friendships and experience a different culture than mine. I enjoyed all the excursions that were planned out especially the kayaking and I also enjoyed our classes and the labs we did.

New cultural experience and new friends!

This program provides a new cultural experience as well as introducing or developing peoples understanding about topics. The most memorable experience on the CIEE Global Navigator High School Summer Abroad program was the people I have met and connected with. I believe that I have created new relationships in which I can be myself and feel comfortable. Spending my free time with new friends has been a very memorable experience.
