Spanish exchange students from Colegio Bristol in Madrid got to experience much of what Louisiana is about during the first Spanish exchange visit since the pandemic. Students and their Episcopal hosts toured Tiger Stadium, New Orleans, the Louisiana swamps, and more. The students even got a chance to experience Bayou State weather when Hurricane Francine came ashore. Episcopal Global Travel Coordinator Amy Rome believes in the transformative power of travel. “When students travel, they learn about the places, people, and things they encounter, but they also learn about themselves. They grow and develop with every new experience,” she says. For the completion of the exchange, Episcopal students will get to visit the Spanish students in Madrid. Ziplining and Spanish dancing will also be on the itinerary.
