Magellan Academy World Travel
|
By far the best opportunity that the Magellan Academy offers its members is the chance to travel the world on lengthy, detailed, and educational exploration trips. I went to Spain my Sophomore year, and instantly fell in love - enough to go back with Magellan to Greece in 2006, and now I am looking forward to China in 2007. Not only did we get a true experience of the culture (we walked nearly everywhere, were allowed to explore the cities without guides, and attempted to communicate with the locals), but the chance to face head-on all the excitement and unknowns of a foreign country with your friends at your side is nearly indescribable. Fun tours of historic monuments and ruins, expeditions to cultural restaurants and museums, and informative bus tours with energetic guides provide you with the academic side of the trips. And the Academy makes sure that the prices for the trips get you more than your money's worth in every sense of the phrase. The sights I have seen, the knowledge that I have learned, the cultures that I have sampled, and the open-mind I have fermented, will forever remain with me as I enter into the adult world. |
