Do it!!!! It was the best experience of my life and you have friends from this experience for your life. do we stay with families? I stayed with a family in france for a weekend and it ROCKED! This part is hit or miss. It is either really fun or stinks. how much would it cost? mine cost about 5 grand. That includes all meals, flight, and hotel. All you pay for is gifts and some food on the side. how many weeks/months would it be for? I went for three weeks. how did i get picked?? Three ways, by recommendation from past alumni, recommendation from P2P, or from parents. They never tell you though. If you have any questions about P2P please feel free to ask me. Remember every trip is different so read up on yours!

I went to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji two summers ago. Last summer I went to England, France and Italy. I have nothing but good things to say about P2P! Both trips were absolutely amazing and DEFINITELY worth the money. 1. There is a portion of the trip called a "Homestay". It is generally 3 days/2 nights or 4 days/3 nights (depending on whether you are in Highschool or not). Everyone in your group stays in the same city/neighborhood. You will be paired with a family and may or may not have other students with you. I had a friend with me in both of my homestays. The homestays are pretty fun. You just chill with the family and they take you around their city, show you fun places. Warning. They might not speak English! My family in France spoke ZERO English. It was kind of tough but a good experience. The rest of the trip you stay in hotels. 2. Your airfare and all of your meals are included in the "Trip Cost". The only thing you will have to pay for when you are over there is souvenirs. When you add everything up (trip cost+souvenirs+luggage+random travel things) the total amount is around $7,000. But trust me, it is so worth your money. People to People also has a fundraising site with tons of cool and useful ideas. 3. Your experience will be around 19 or 20 days. And it will be the best few weeks of your life. 4. A teacher or ambassador alumni nominated you. Let me know if you have any more questions about anything. I would be happy to answer and give you more tips! I can give you my email if you want.
