Belize
by: bwallen - United StatesProgram: Tailored Faculty-Led Education Abroad ProgramsI thoroughly enjoyed learning the culture of Belize. Such a beautiful and peaceful area. I loved the sense of community. Although the students were in walking distance of the school, we as the leaders mostly had to do everything in the area we stayed and had to get a taxi to get to the city everyday.
Belize study abroad
by: Awoody - United StatesProgram: Tailored Faculty-Led Education Abroad ProgramsI thoroughly enjoyed my study abroad experience using this program. There were activities planned for us relating to our major as well as extracurriculars. This was an amazing opportunity to enhance my cultural knowledge and apply what I had learned from my college classes. I would highly recommend this to other students!

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I became very motivated in 2010 to establish Toucan Education Programs after realizing that I have a profound love of working with international students who were studying abroad in Belize. Walking with students to realize their study abroad dreams and witnessing their transformation at the end of their term was truly rewarding for me.

I traveled out of the country once before in 2013 and had been looking for another opportunity to travel with a group of people ever since. There is something special about experiencing another culture and seeing how people interact in places different from the United States. I started graduate school in the fall of 2015 and in the spring I saw a flyer in the hallway looking for graduate students in agriculture to travel to Belize and work with farmers over there. I had never really thought about going to Belize, but it sounded like a great opportunity, so I applied and was chosen to go abroad. I read about the diversity of Belize and was inspired to engulf myself in Belizean culture.
