It’s strange sitting here, being fully confronted by the dreaded fact that my eight weeks in Cape Town has dwindled to just a few short days, that such an enormous and epic chapter in my life is coming to a close. Trying to summarize such a massive experience in a couple of lines is a nearly impossible task. Concisely put my time here has been nothing less than a transforming experience. Cape Town offers a vantage like no other in the world; from its stark realities to the immeasurable wealth activities and fun and everything in between, it is impossible to leave the city unaffected. VAC proved invaluable in helping me maximize my time here, both through exploring Cape Town and in accommodating me to my job and daily needs. If you are looking for an epic, perspective-shifting summer, then I would highly recommend Cape Town and VAC to you.
