Cuba, a country only a five-hour plane ride away, I did not know much about before my experience. I was able to build an intimate connection with its friendly people, history, politics, and economy.

I learned so much about a country that is so close yet so mystical. I feel like just being there and learning from locals and seeing it for myself is the most worthwhile. The trip had opportunities to really expand my understanding of global relations as well as history and the arts. I really enjoyed my time in Cuba!

While being in Cuba, I learned a lot about the complexities of class. Specifically, I learned about the possible relationship of capitalism and socialism, the ways in which they can work against yet with each other, and the effects of both situations.

I made new friends, learned about myself, and learned about Cuba. It was 100% worth it and I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone! Alexandra M - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I gained a better understanding of myself and the world around me. I was very nervous at first since I had never flown abroad alone before, but the second I stepped out of the Havana airport I was greeted by Abroadia and I knew I never wanted to leave.

I learned about the history of Cuba and the everlasting impact of the revolution which ended in the 20th century. I learned about food, architecture, culture, and more. Lawrence P - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
