A cohort of five students and one faculty member share ways in which their Bulgarian study abroad experience (2024) built upon an existing international partnership and, in so doing, aligned with the tenets of, and goals for, "neighborhoods" as described by Dr. Ada Long (1945-2024). The authors describe lessons learned through the unique pedagogy and practices of NCHC's City as Text®, suggesting that honors may be especially well suited for neighborly international exchange. The authors describe their study abroad experiences as being effective in developing a sense of global citizenship across cultural divides and cultivating an actual sense of knowing international neighbors.
