Trip Reflections & Future Plans

Feedback from Alexander Lagos Choquecahua, MSW, LMSW (Assistant Professor of Social Work)

My experience with Alandis has been amazing. They provided outstanding customer service before, during, and after the trip. Alandis staff were professional and caring during our stay in Seville and Malaga. Our group leader, Trini Montero, did a wonderful job from day one. She was welcoming and helpful. I enjoyed the cultural activities and locations they offered to our group. If you plan to do a cultural/academic program in Spain, I highly recommend Alandis. You won’t regret it!
