When Sarah, a college student from Brazil, decided to join Expyra’s cultural exchange program, she was eager to immerse herself in a new environment. Arriving in Egypt, she was welcomed by local families who shared their traditions and customs.
Through her host family, Sarah learned about Egyptian cuisine, participated in local festivals, and made lifelong friends. She volunteered at a community center, teaching English to children, which deepened her connection to the community.
"I never imagined how much this experience would change me," Sarah shared. "I gained confidence, developed new skills, and built relationships that will last a lifetime. Expyra opened my eyes to the beauty of cultural exchange, and I now feel like I have a second home in Egypt."
