Where you decide to twist and turn down on your snowboard vacation is crucial to the experience you hope to have. Some locations have more challenging snowboarding routes than others, so it really depends on how daring you may be feeling (or how much cold you can withstand).

From the insulated igloos beneath the starry sky to the sparklingly clean lakes by the mountain caps, Canada is brimming with adventure for your perfect adventure abroad. With courses lead by passionate instructors, you can expect the best of the best when snowboarding through the Canadian mountainside. What better way to see how many moose you can spot as you shimmy across the sparkling wilderness?!

For the monster of all snowboarding experiences and the pinnacle of adventure travels, do you dare find snowboarding vacation packages in the Alps? A journey to France can deliver you just that. Surrounded by Alpine views, filled with the stunning scenery of lakes, and waterfalls and rock formations, you’ll breathe the crisp air here. Picture yourself flying down runs in Chamonix, like a magical carpet, surrounded by the bright, crisp views of the French Alps. This is the most popular destination in Europe for snowboarding, so you are sure to meet dozens of people, just like yourself, thirsty for a new adventure.

Take your snowboard trips south to the famous and fantastic kingdom of Middle Earth in New Zealand, where the quaint landscape will truly leave you spellbound. By meeting new people and immersing yourself into this adventurous culture, you will feel yourself grow into a whole new person. The South Island, nestled beside the city of Queenstown, has earned its reputation for being truly “Remarkable”!

Ashley From Interexchange

It is rare that you have a customer service experience that feels so special it makes you want to go out of your way to get other people to experience it. It is even harder to make a customer experience feel special when there no face to face interaction, but Ashley from interexchange seemed to have no problem at all. From the jump she was responsive, helpful, and kind. Whenever I had a question or concern about the process she either answered it thoroughly, or pointed me in the direction of someone who could. Deadlines are super important when it comes to visas as well as attention to detail and these guys know their craft! Not only were the application instructions clear and thorough, but the staff followed up when there were changes or questions asked to make sure that everything was done correctly and I had all of the information that I needed. Someone give Ashley a raise!
