Extremely helpful best program out there. I love this program, I'm headed out to Australia in a couple months and have extreme jitters, so much so that I was on the verge of an anxiety attack. In the middle of this I emailed my trip coordinator, (Leah is amazing guys!) with some questions and she was on top of it for me. Easing many of my fears that were causing my panic. I am still super excited and can't wait to see what's in store for me when I arrive. I'm extremely thankful that I found this program, I've been looking for a long while now to go abroad. First Abroad has helped me obtain that and for that I will always recommend them to anyone.

First Abroad is DA BOMB I've been in contact with First Abroad for the past 8 months in regards to the AbsoluteOz program and they have been nothing but helpful and supportive. They have guided me through every step I've taken and made this process as easy as possible.

Gap Year to Australia Leah was extremely helpful during my whole process of going abroad. She was quick to answer all my questions, to the extent that she would always respond with an email within 24 hours. I was so appreciative of this because sometimes I was stressed about visas, doctors appointments, and other requirements. I found that First Abroad allowed me to travel, earn some money, and have experience in a school, all in one. Doing this program was one of the best decisions I've made. Thank you Leah!

Time of my life I just want to thank Leah and First Abroad for the most amazing trip of my life! The only thing I disliked was the fact that I didnt book the 4wk instead of the 2wk. Leah was there for me all the way until the day before I left. She was always quick to respond and was very informative. I will definitely be booking another trip soon! Highly recommended! *Colby

A fantastically worthwhile volunteer project - lots of kitten cuddles too! I spent a month at this amazing Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa that I found through First Abroad's website. Naturally I was worried about going, it was my first trip away without my family and I was planning on doing it completely alone.. eek! Thankfully First Abroad were so welcoming and made me feel really at ease.. apparently lots of people were as nervous as I was (although I think that's just them being polite) They put up with my endless questions and prepared me so well before I went away. I found the info in my online account really helpful as well, especially the Kit List as I had no idea what to take with me! The Sanctuary itself was a wonderful experience, exactly what I was after. A really hands-on project with a huge variety of weird and wonderful animals that you're able to get up close and personal with. I was even lucky enough to hand rear a Serval Kitten (google them, THEY'RE SO CUTE!) I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. Was the best experience of my life!
