“Highly, highly recommend Brazil from the businesses talking about the most advanced technology in Sao Paulo. From the cultural entrepreneurship that happens in Rio, from the differences in cultural attributes of this place versus the United States, an amazing experience for students to experience up front and take home afterwards.”
