Student Trip Blogs

Each evening, the Student Leaders of the Day write a daily trip blog, sharing everything from funny moments and inside jokes to detailed recaps and deep reflections on their experiences. Family and friends back home leave supportive comments as they follow along. Explore some of our Alumni Interns’ favorite blogs from 2024 or search all student trip blogs below.
