As a teaching philosophy we believe that the experience of  "learning through travel"  cannot be matched. When you learn exclusively from a book, you create short term memories, derived solely of your reading and comprehending efforts. When your studying is coupled with the thrill of travelling abroad, it becomes "embedded" in you, together with all your memories of that time and that experience.

When you are traveling your mind is already in a permanent state of openness and alertness: you are experiencing new feelings, you are overcoming difficulties to be understood, you are seeing different sights, smelling different aromas, experiencing new foods, you are becoming a more rounded person every minute. If you couple this learning "trough your senses experience"  that happens naturally when you travel with formal, structured classes, the deepness of the learning experience is unparalleled. It becomes a part of you, instead of something that you read and will forget over time.
