Health and Diet

Vegetarians & Selective Eaters

Not all countries are as vegetarian-friendly or offer the same range of fruits and vegetables available in California. When choosing a program, be aware that vegetarian/vegan options are not always available or safe while traveling overseas. If you are uncertain about food options for a particular program, ask us. Most programs include at least one or two group meals; in these cases, the instructor will do his or her best to find suitable options for every student; however, students with very specific diet requirements may need to spend extra money to buy supplemental meals.

Eating Disorders

If you have an eating disorder, you should discuss your plans to travel abroad with your physician. Eating disorders are often aggravated by overseas travel.
