There is always that feeling of excitement that comes with traveling to new places. I remember it very well the first time I stepped onto a plane and headed to Quito, Ecuador. However, sometimes the anticipation is even greater when you get the chance to return to somewhere familiar.

The foundation of the BUS began twenty years ago at Wheaton College in Illinois. Starting in 2001, we had the privilege of working together to encourage, equip, and challenge students to engage in global urban learning.
