Nichole D., Nursing Student

My experience in Cusco, Peru was one of the best experiences of my life. The lessons were educational and fun, too. We volunteered at Clinica San Juan de Dios which is predominantly a holistic clinic for children. I not only learned a lot of Spanish, but improved on my nursing skills as well.

I loved my placement experience. I taught piano to a small class of boys, and then my friend Alamara and I combined our classes to work on a little newspaper for the center. Although I was a bit surprised at first to discover how little supervision I had, the freedom helped me become more self-motivated and independent.
