"I loved traveling to Cambodia with the World Affairs Council. It's a wonderful country with amazing sites of both historical and current interest. But the highlight of the trip was getting to know my fellow travelers. They were knowledgeable, open-minded and approached the trip with a spirit of fun and exploration. I have great memories and new friendships that will now always be a part of my life."   John Bryant, Rice University Professor
