Going to Panama through the Global Business Brigades program really opened my eyes to different kinds of businesses that people use in their everyday lives. It really made me realize that there are plenty of people out their just trying to make it with their small businesses and appreciate any help they can get. I loved getting to experience the country of Panama and really felt like we were embraced by the culture. This trip also allowed me to gain a bunch of new friends and really get out of my comfort zone in the best way possible. All in all I am so glad I went on this trip and really think that I came away learning a lot from it, in business and also life.
