Becca from our Global Works Home Office just returned from her honeymoon in Panama! After 12 days of traveling throughout this beautiful country, she says that she can see why so many Global Works students choose Panama as their travel destination!  “Panama encompasses amazing landscapes, incredible people, tons of wildlife  and is filled with a tremendous amount of culture. With surfing, boating, snorkeling, hiking and taking part in cultural tours – we had plenty of activities to choose from in each province visited!” says Becca. (more…)

Photos de France

Bonjour from Boulder!  Sophie, our France leader extraordinaire, has spent the last few years leading Global Works students in a photo project every summer.  As part of their community service, the photo project aims to share with the community how they have experienced their stay in Carcassonne. During the homestay in Carcassonne, each student picks one thing which, in their view, embodies the most  of France, the French people or French culture. They took a picture of it and wrote a small text in both English and French which clearly express what makes the subject of the photograph so special, and why they selected it in particular.  It is a wonderful way to remember their time in France through small, meaningful snapshots.  Our friend Marie at the Association des Sites du Pays Cathare in Carcassonne has posted them on the blog associated with the association’s website.  Check them out!

C’est très belle ici!
