My son studied in New Zealand with Greenheart

Our son - age 15 - traveled with Greenheart study abroad for the second semester of his sophomore year of high school. He was aboard for 6 months and had the MOST AMAZING experience. While we got to live vicariously thru his photos and phone calls...my husband and I were experiencing an empty nest for the first time and we also learned a lot. So here is some advice for parents sending their children abroad.... Make a list of things YOU want to do while your child is away... my husband and I took dance lessons, had adult only (no children) dinner parties, accomplished house updates, traveled to visit our children who were away at college, visited aging parents, put in extra time a work and started hiking more. Our son's host parents were amazing. Our son was very very detailed in what his likes and interest were when he wrote his bio page for Greenheart. I truly feel that the extra detail and attention allowed Greenheart to hand-select the perfect family for him.
