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.

Awesome program and team! I haven't actually traveled yet but thus far the team that has been working to prepare me for the gap year has been there any time I have had questions or concerns. They are very professional in their responses to my questions and I am extremely excited to travel with this company!

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!

First Abroad has been so dependable! I booked my trip with First Abroad and they have been nothing but helpful since that has happened, answering any questions I have quickly and thoroughly and I would recommend this company to anybody!

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!
