Life-changing!

“Versailles, the Eiffel Tower, accrobranche, and cathedral visits were some of my favorite activities. I also enjoyed playing soccer with my language partner.”
Shreve A.
(Student 2009)

“I never would have learned as much without staying with a host family. When I couldn't understand what they were saying, they would speak more slowly and explain. Thank you ECI, this was one of the best trips I've taken!”
Colin S.
(Student 2008)
