Participating in the USA Work and Travel program was an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only did we explore amazing places in the States, but it also opened my eyes to the cultural diversity through friends we met from around the globe. We highly recommend anyone considering this to just go for it. It’s a life-changing adventure!

During our work and travels in the United States, we had the time of my life! From the bright lights of the big cities to the tranquility of the countryside, every moment was a new adventure. We met incredible people, learned valuable lessons, and grew both personally and professionally. Each experience left its mark on us, and we will forever treasure the memories and friendships made along the way.

Stepping out of the comfort zone and taking a flight to the US right after University ended turned out to be something extremely memorable and rewarding. Throughout the WAT journey, we had the chance to travel around the States and immerse ourselves in the culture that these places have to offer. The life lessons and experiences we’ve gained from this WAT journey are something valuable to look back at and will live on as we step into different phases of life in the future!
