"I had the opportunity to go on a well-curated visit to Mexico City and Oaxaca with PAACF. The experience was unforgettable, highlighting incredible museums, craft works, and restaurants that highlighted significant aspects Mexican history and culture. It stimulated a renewed desire in me to dig much more deeply into the events that have created the diverse and vibrant world we see today! I would definitely go on another adventure with PAACF!"

"PAACF's Baltimore and DC trip was incredible! The thoughtfully curated itinerary, restaurants, and hotels were top-notch. Hearing directly from curators made the experience even more enriching and offered deeper insights into the exhibits. Exploring neighborhoods like Anacostia and visiting the Frederick Douglass home added extra depth. Every detail was handled with care, making for a seamless and enriching journey."
