Instagram: Check out Tonanziht Aguas's experience from the "Food and Sustainability in Thailand" program where gained a deeper understanding of sustainability and experienced the culture and tradition in Thailand:
-----------
"Traveling to Thailand was an opportunity to experience an entirely different way of life. I had many firsts, such as eating duck, trying durian, sitting at low-rise tables, and going to a rural farm. I am amazed by the kindness of Thai people, the grandness of cities like Bangkok, the beauty of ancient palaces and sites, and the night markets that I had only seen on YouTube videos before this trip."
