Excel Spain 2007

 

I brought home...2 fewer pairs of shoes than I came with, but “aquatrekking” was worth it.

 

I met...and played against some future national soccer players of Brazil...and we beat them 6-4.

 

It was a tough moment when... I found out we were having cow tongue for the food challenge!

 

I've decided...to start traveling more.

 

Students at my school should...do more flamenco dancing.

 

In ten years I see myself...as the anchor of Sports Center.

 

“I'm grateful to have spent so much time with the amazing program
leaders and for the great friends that I made in Spain. I was really
impressed with the organization of the program. The activities and
adventures were incredible and really stretched me. I did things I
never thought I’d do....spelunking, flamenco dancing, seeing operas and bullfights…it was the best experience of my life.”
