The Key to a New Beginning
by: Alyssa Galdamez - United StatesProgram: EF Gap Semester: 10-Week Programs in Multiple DestinationsBeing part of the first ever Voyager semester in Fall 2023 was an experience I was unprepared for, and the best decision I could’ve ever made. Little did I know that by embarking on this endeavor, I would unlock a part of myself that I didn’t know existed until then. My semester with EF Gap Year taught me self-love, self discovery, and the importance of being uniquely myself. Never did I think it was possible to be able to afford this trip of a lifetime, but I was left with so much satisfaction and so much pride that I had set this goal and I achieved it. This semester taught me that I can do anything I set my mind to and no goal is too big or too impossible. I flew to the other side of the world by myself and saw glowing blue oceans in Thailand that I never thought I’d be able to witness in my lifetime. I learn pieces of languages from each country I spent time in. I connected with people I would’ve never met without this experience and found with locals who had so much passion for their homeland and wanted to share it with me. Was I prepared for this transformation and self growth? No, and only because it was more than I could ever ask for. To anyone who is scared to take such a leap of faith, do it anyway. I haven’t met one person who regretted doing this for themselves, or thought it was a waste of time or money. Dream big, and you will reach the stars.



The best 10 weeks of my life!!
by: Greta Foss - United StatesProgram: EF Gap Semester: 10-Week Programs in Multiple DestinationsI got to experience the most amazing places and make so many incredible memories with some of my newest and greatest friends in the world! My tour director and SLC were amazing and really helped me to have the most incredible trip possible. I’m hoping to some day go on a trip similar!
Amazing way to get culturally immersed
by: Madison Gaudencio - United StatesProgram: EF Gap Semester: 10-Week Programs in Multiple DestinationsI am so grateful for my experience through EF gap. It allowed me to develop more as an individual and solidify my belief about who I am as a person, outside of my family. I made so many new friends all over the country, that I have seen over the past year. I was immersed into the different cultures at each country we went to. One of my favorites was the Peruvian culture. The food, the people, the weaving! Just an overall attentive people for their country. We did agriculture and sustainable work in each country we visited, which made me develop a newfound appreciation for the hard work that goes into taking care of our lands! From the high lands of Peru to the beautiful beaches in the Dominican Republic, EF does an amazing job at curating the itinerary. I don’t regret anything about this experience.

I have always loved to travel and this opportunity gave me the chance to explore places I have never been before. I also wanted to travel while I was young because I might never get the opportunity to do this again in the future. EF also intrigues me, I love the places they go and what they do.
