I signed up for the Portugal program as a graduation gift to myself for finishing my Masters program. I hoped to combine travel and professional experiences and the program exceeded my expectations! The professional visits were insightful, intercultural exchanges of knowledge. The program coordinators were also fantastic and handled the organization very well. I already want to go again!
