After the subpar snow season, Andy Liedberg, master brewer at Beehive Brewery in Big Sky, decided to ditch the snow for the sand in central America. On May 19th, he sat down for the Beyond the Classroom questionnaire, designed to encourage reflection, storytelling, cultural insight, and practical advice for other world travelers:

Most memorable experience: Galloping along black sand beaches
How WLI class helped: Increased Confidence
Biggest challenge: Limited Vocabulary
Best strategy: Repeat everything again and again
Newest vocabulary: Dale!
Cultural surprise: “Everybody was so nice and willing to help.”
Advice for future travelers: “Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone and speak to people.”
Final reflection: “You connect with the culture more when you can speak the language. I realize how many doors opened for me even just trying to speak. I am so excited to learn more so when I go back I can make deeper relationships and connections with the people.
