I had the best month of my life!
by: Aidyn Byrne - United StatesProgram: EF Gap Semester in Europe (The Pathfinder)In march 2024 I went on the European discovery gap year 4 week program. To say it was the best decision I’ve made is an understatement. I got to experience life on my own without my parents. I made decisions and took risks. I met some of my bestest friends!! I even traveled to see one of the girls I met on my trip for my birthday! I can’t imagine life where I didn’t meet these people and have these memories I’ll hold on forever. I thank god everyday for this program!
Most positive transformative experience ever
by: Ella Paulsen - United StatesProgram: EF Gap Semester in Europe (The Pathfinder)My experience on the Pathfinder was one of the best things I have ever done. I met the most incredible people my age from all over America that I have such a special bond with. The travel with my group was one of the best parts of it, and we always had the best time on the buses or trains, finding ways to pass time. EF truly gave me such an incredible semester, and opened my eyes to so many more cultures and ways of life outside my small town in Minnesota. Forever grateful for my time abroad.
