It was a great step toward growing independent and for the start of my travels. Past Review
By rob r (Marketing., Western Washington University) for
ISA Study Abroad in Gold Coast, Australia
I gain independance and learned how to travel by myself. Plus just getting out there and seeing the world was really cool. Australia is different than the US but its not super different like they listen to the same music and movies as us.
