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!

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.

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!

What a breeze! I cannot thank First Abroad enough for helping me coordinate my trip to Australia! After reading all of the positive reviews about FirstAbroad, I decided to choose this company and I am happy I did! No regrets whatsoever. Not only was the whole process cut out for me but the customer service is exceptional! Leah, my Travel Services Coordinator, was very detailed and addressed all of my questions and concerns promptly. I couldn't have gone on this trip without her! Thank you FirstAbroad.

Great experience with First Abroad My travel services coordinator Leah was SO helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely fashion. I thought it was really nice to receive an email a few days into my trip checking in to make sure I arrived and was navigating safely. She was super nice and seemed genuienly excited for me and my trip. I felt prepared and well informed for my trip and overall Australia was an amazing experience. I would definitely book through you guys again and recommend to friends.
