What Students Say About Their Experience
Traveling Australia and Bali with an amazing group of people for 10 weeks were some of the best times and memories of my life. I learned so much about myself and the world, and I feel like I am leaving the program a more confident version of myself!
Lauren L.
"Awesome experience. Was able to step out of my comfort zone plenty of times and got to experience things I never thought I would. So many experiences like village stay and camping near the beach in New Zealand that I’d never thought in à million years I would experience. Amazing program."
Alice B.
"Life changing experience, made memories for life. I would passionately recommend this program to anyone unsure of their gap year plans."
