Hello my fellow Hansens! I hope that this post finds everyone well!

We've been getting a lot of questions about MONEY recently, so I thought as a past participant, I could offer some insight!

As all of you know, all of your expenses are being covered by the program: airfare, housing, transportation in the US, all of that good stuff.  But how much extra money should you bring?  Really, it depends on the person and their financial resources.  The extra money you bring would most likely be used to buy souvenirs, maybe something to eat in the airport, or for occasions when you have free time and go out with fellow participants.  Honestly, last year we had some people come here and go on shopping sprees and buy computers, while others spent little to no money.  We had a birthday during the program and everyone chipped in a dollar to buy him a cake, but really the amount of money you decide to bring is entirely up to you!

I hope everyone is doing well and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!
