I learned so much from my time on my Pacific Discovery Program. Everyday we did something new and amazing or saw something incredible. I learned how to travel independently and learned a lot about the local cultures. Also made lifelong friends. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Becca G - Tulane University View Entire Review
I gained so much confidence, knowledge of the world, skills needed for the outdoors... the list could go on and on. It was SO worthwhile. I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Grace B - University of San Francisco View Entire Review
I gained a lot of outdoorsy skills and I learned a lot about my self. Just too many personal things hard to put into words. It was one of the most important experiences of my life. Definitely worthwhile Olivia B View Entire Review
I learned how to be a smart traveler, how to really push myself, how to keep a super open mind, and also that I probably want to live in NZ and Australia again at some point! It was definitely worthwhile, and every aspect of the trip was awesome. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I have so much more confidence in myself now in my ability to overcome my fears and live an adventure! My time was completely worth while. Will C - Clemson University View Entire Review
I learned to become more independent, and believe in myself. I never thought I'd be able to lift my own backpack let alone tramp 54km!!! Lauren S - Parsons School of Design View Entire Review
