GROW Abroad Orange river tour
by: Aniek Machielsen - NetherlandsProgram: High School Classic Program - South AfricaIk heb de orange river tour met grow abroad gedaan in maart. De hele ervaring was echt geweldig!! Overdag was het veel roeien in de boot wat achteraf gezellig was maar in het moment heel erg ploeteren. Maar het slapen onder de sterren in echt de beste ervaring. Het was super gezellig met z’n allen en de staff was ook betrokken. Zei maakte ook de beste lunch, diner en desserts en waren altijd zo lief. Oftewel dit was een ervaring die ik nooit ga vergeten en iedereen zal aanraden!!???
Growth!
by: Francesca Mentasti - ItalyProgram: High School Classic Program - South AfricaIt is not just a language experience, however it is a full life experience. Personal growth is the most representative image I can give. A deep truth is that an exchange program is not a year in your life but it is a life in a year! It’s the adventure of a lifetime that you’ll never forget and you make memories you’ll always bring with you. Of course you have to step up your game, but if you have the right mindset it’s going to be worthy.
I had an amazing experience!
by: Bianca Ceriani - ItalyProgram: High School Classic Program - South AfricaI really enjoyed my months here in Cape Town. I loved visiting the city, spending time with my host family, getting to know other international friends, going to school and getting to know many new friends and spend time with them. I really appreciate the work of my agency Grow Abroad: the coordinators have always been present and helpful, the activities and tours were really nice and I had an amazing time.
