“I had one of the most transformative times of my life on my gap year, and I give most of that credit to Thinking Beyond Borders for even getting me there, for stretching me in all different ways, and for being an incredible support system the whole way through.”

“My gap experience with Thinking Beyond Borders was the best three months of my life which is still impacting me years later. The conversations, experiences, and thoughts I was exposed to during my time in Latin America was a catalyst for my personal and professional growth. My experience made me more confident, gave me a second family in another country (who I visited and stayed with again upon returning to Guatemala this past summer), provided me lifelong friends and mentors, and introduced me to people who were also curious about similar issues and wanted to ask difficult questions."
