I had an absolutely amazing time in the Netherlands! I stayed in Steenwijk, about two hours away from Amsterdam. My family was so kind and helpful and I met some amazing people! The first week I had an orientation program which was simply amazing. There were people from all over the globe who stayed with me in the hostel. It was like summer camp!
From August 2022 to July 2023, I participated in Greenheart Travel's High School Abroad program in the Netherlands. This is an amazing program and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in it. As a young person, it was so valuable to be able to live abroad and experience an entirely new country and culture. I did experience some difficult situations, but Greenheart Travel's staff was absolutely amazing. They were prompt with their email responses and were always very kind. They helped me solve my problems, and helped to make my exchange year a great one! My only issue with this program was the in-country partner organization. They were not very helpful and I wouldn't recommend them. However, Greenheart was absolutely amazing.
