Ghana was incredible! The warm staff, delicious food, and stunning landscapes made my experience unforgettable. I really enjoyed the experiential learning aspect of the program, as getting to interact with locals, go to museums, and travel around the country deepened my understanding of Ghanaian culture in a way a classroom wouldn't be able to.
