Remember that old expression “If you don’t use it, you lose it”? Turns out there’s a lot of science to back it up! It’s proven that our brains get weaker with underuse, but music, language, and art can help restore those neural pathways and keep your brain strong. Check out this terrific infographic from Online College Courses to find out how learning a new language, picking up an instrument, and painting a self portrait can benefit your brain and your life!

Wonderful learning and visiting opportunities in the US and throughout the world.

Many at very reasonable prices, considering all meals and entrance fees included.
The participants are (mostly) interesting and fun as well, because, like you, they're curious and adaptable, and want to be there.
