Q: 15/f
Has anyone ever taken a People to People trip? I got a thing in the mail from them, and I can go to Ireland, London, and Walsh for it. It would be for about 20 days over the summer [I'd be 16 by then]. Anyways, this trip is very expensive, so I wanna make sure it's worth it. I'm pretty shy, so I think this would be good for me.
Has anyone gone on this trip? What do you do? Is it worth it?
Anything you know about it would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I LOVE People to People International. Please do it, it is probably the most life learning trips I could have ever taken. I am from Florida, so I was able to go to Orlando for my first trip. I stayed at Rollins College and I got to meet people from politics and journalism. I met a CNN news correspondent and she recommended me for an internship the following year in Georgia. My second trip I went to England and I got to shadow people from BBC and I also got to listen in on a meeting in Parliament.
I was 16 and 17 when I went and it was probably the most life changing thing I could ever do. I was raised in a small town and I had my little group of friends, but the trip really opened my eyes to other types of people and got me thinking about other situations around the world. I'm 20 now, and I still talk to the people that were in my group. And they are from all over the country with different backgrounds and different morals and ideals.
My mom gave me the choice of driving a new car or driving her old car, and since I liked my mom's old car, all of my car money went towards my trip. However, grocery stores are really cool about bagging for tips and also you can raise money by selling stuff.
It's worth it. Go. You meet tons of people, you learn about peace and kindness towards your fellow neighbor, and you gain skills that you can practice you for college. If you need anything, message me and let me know. I still have my packets and I can give you more details.
