Candela Esteban Ortiz

Traveling from Madrid, Spain to Paso Robles, California, Candela Esteban Ortiz wanted to mainly improve her English but also pursue her love of traveling and learning about other cultures.

Gemma De La Cruz

Gemma De La Cruz chose to be a part of the foreign exchange program so she could experience what is known as the high school “American life” in Taranto, Italy.

Rana Takada

Coming from Tokyo, Japan, Rana Takada decided to study abroad so she could have the opportunity to play tennis in another country.

Eduardo Galindo Van Zeller

Wanting to get out of Lisboa, Portugal, Eduardo Galindo Van Zeller took the opportunity to travel to Paso to speak a new langauge and experience a new culture.

We put in 13 hours of practice, each week but it’s all worth it.
