First Time Traveling Solo… and It Was EPIC
April 03, 2025by: Nathalie Bowen - United StatesProgram: Shadowing Program -Medicine,Beaches & Adventures in GreeceI was so nervous about traveling alone, but this program made it so easy! Stavros had everything set up perfectly, and the moment I got to Greece, I felt at home. The rotations were super hands-on, the doctors were awesome, and the food? I could eat Greek food forever. If you can, take the 2-week program—trust me, it’s worth it. Stavros is the best, always there to support us.
One Week, One Life-Changing Experience
April 03, 2025by: Harris Harris - United StatesProgram: Shadowing Program -Medicine,Beaches & Adventures in GreeceI can’t believe how much I learned in just one week! Over 20 hours of shadowing top surgeons, seeing some crazy surgeries, and exploring a whole new country? Best experience ever. The city tour was a great way to unwind, and Greek food is officially my new favorite cuisine. HUGE shoutout to Stavros for making it all happen!
