It was extremely worthwhile. It took me until months after I came back home to pay off my credit cards from my trip, and I still am indebted to my dad, but I would do it all again. I wish I could!

I learned a lot about the indigenous populations and their struggles that they still go through today. Australians take an extremely different value to being indigenous than Americans. Getting out of my comfort zone is the key to being successful in most aspects of life. Jeremy Pultz - Ohio Northern University View Entire Review

This was the best experience of my life. It changed what I wanted out of life. It was my first time truly being away from my safety net of family and friends. I had to fend for myself and I loved it.

Because I went out and steered away from the program, I got involved with many local and international people who went to different schools, worked in different areas, and made my experience more enjoyable.
