10/10 would recommend, made memories that will stick with me for my entire life and made some amazing friends

Traveling Australia and Bali with an amazing group of people for 10 weeks were some of the best times and memories of my life. I learned so much about myself and the world, and I feel like I am leaving the program a more confident version of myself!

Hands down the coolest way for students to travel and experience the world safely and in a group dynamic. Extremely happy our daughter had this experience to grown and learn and live!

This was a super great experience and allowed me to mature and find myself in a safe and immersive environment

I grew both mentally and physically by being out in different situations that were outside of my comfort zone! I would recommend PD to people because there is a lot of learning we do throughout program and a lot of new experiences as well. Take chances even with knowing the unknown! I would say that my overall experience was amazing especially with all of the different wildlife encounters that came with it!

I'd recommend this program to others because it gives you once in a lifetime opportunities to immerse yourself in extraordinary culture. You learn how to travel responsibly and you create great friendships and learn how to have healthy communication.

I have become more patient with my decisions and learned to think them through. Also to live in the moment and take everything life has to offer as I experience it. Lastly, I have become more confident in independent travel after visiting and exploring the places we’ve been to.

I absolutely adored my time on the Australia / Bali semester with Pacific Discovery. It was a perfect mix of adventure, cultural immersion, service and personal development mixed in with a bit of city time. I have never grown so much as an individual as I did on this trip. I am more confident in myself and my relationships, more independent and ultimately have a better perspective on life and the world. If you’re thinking about doing a PD trip, take the risk and go for it! You won’t regret it.
