Would I Recommend this Trip to Others?

This trip is not for the faint of heart. It requires a large amount of flexibility and dedication. Often I was cold, hungry, tired and generally frustrated. That being said, it was one of the most wonderful, eye-opening experiences I have ever had and I would recommend that anyone interested in a challenging abroad experience to consider it. I also would encourage other students, especially Elon students committed to being global citizens, to learn as much as possible about the Zapatistas and their cause because it is a remarkable mission that incorporates many of the questions and issues that are raised by students on Elon's campus and is committed to non-violent activism and social change.
