glimpse.org represents an online community of young adults devoted to cross-cultural learning and exchange. It features first person, cultural-experience pieces written by study abroad students, volunteers, international students and others living abroad. Relying on narrative story lines and rich sensory detail, these articles capture readers’ attention and concern by making the world personal.
glimpse.org currently contains a database of 380 articles from over 90 countries, and will soon offer interactive web capabilities—including forums, blogs, photo sharing and message-boards—to all registered users. In this way, young adults who have lived or are living abroad can connect with peers at home to report on their experiences, share their cultural insights and offer advice to prospective travelers.
If you are about to embark on an extended stay abroad, the site is being designed to prepare you for the cultural and logistical challenges of your trip. Not only can you gain insight into the daily realities of life in other countries, you will soon be able to browse directories of cross-cultural exchange programs, interact with current and returned travelers, access our PDF series of cultural acclimation guides and locate helpful travel services/products.

Glimpse works to resolve these disparities; your support makes it possible. Our world needs you.
