See How It Works

It was hands down the best decision I have ever made. I am pretty sure I could not have been any farther away from home, but knowing that was exciting and exhilarating, not so much scary. I did the program through Fiji as well. That was a fabulous week. I loved my family over there and they were so great to us. Once in Australia, life was great. The weather was warm, the people were so friendly and the friends I made are some I will keep with me for the rest of my life.

Staying with a host family in Fiji is the experience of a lifetime. I got to try so many different foods and they took me out to meet their Fijian friends. Fiji is gorgeous!
