Prospects planning a trip often want to know whether the week will feel like a break or like school. Reviewers describe both sides: an intense schedule and a sense of coming back refreshed.
Arriving Tired, Leaving Restored
Shara (Solo traveler, June 2019) described arriving from a demanding job:
“Coming off of a pretty intense work situation, I was looking forward to the trip, but a bit nervous about the potential for being ‘over-stimulated’ or taxed from the Spanish lessons. Although we had a very packed schedule, every aspect of it was enriching, fun, and unexpectedly restorative.”
