I'm going to South Africa! I knew that I wanted to get away from home and explore the world. After looking at a lot of trips and companies, First Abroad seemed like the best bet. I have yet to have an issue and my trip expert has been very knowledgeable about how to prepare myself for the trip. I leave on January 3rd!

I'm going on an adventure! I'm off to New Zealand in the Fall, and First Abroad has been amazing answering any and all of my questions. Max has been helping me determine that this is the right program for me, and putting my mind at ease by confirming how the First Abroad Program fulfills all my desires and questions. He has answered with facts, and links online to back-up his statements so I know it is true. I booked over the phone with him and it was easy, quick, and the people are just excited for my trip as I am. The program coordinator has now sent me lots of helpful information on the itinerary, visa application, transportation, etc. As far as the booking process and build-up for the trip has gone so far, I would recommend others to look into doing this program.

BEST Q/A WITH THE TOUGHEST DECISION 'DO WE SEND OUR DAUGHTER ABROAD'!!! I had looked thru the pages and pages of information on the internet and spoken with many families over the past year about a 'GAP' year. This program appears to have answered every question. I didn't want a gap of get-a-way fun for a whole year. This program offers the best of all worlds (no pun intended). My daughter wants to travel and become a teacher. She will have 11 months to be an assistant and work (which is key to me for responsibility) and learn and grow. With the vacation times during the 11 months there will be some fun and travel, I'm sure it is the answer the the next best move God had in store for us. Thank you so much Kevin.

Supportive, adaptive, efficient and wonderful best way to describe First Abroad. As a parent of a world traveler, my nerves have been tested a few times. My daughter has just returned from a trip to S. Africa arranged by First Abroad that was fabulous. Last minute, I had some misgivings about her traveling by herself to S. Africa and called First Abroad. Leah was a godsend, she helped me get some last minute travel changes in place that made the trip for both my daugther and myself an even more memorable trip. Thank you, Parent of a world traveler.

I honestly had the best time and would … I honestly had the best time and would recommend them to anyone! The accommodations, the trip itself, the people... I will never forget this amazing experience
