Volunteering abroad in Australia

by: Bryn Pierce - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Australia and New Zealand Service

Aside from these hours, we would take trips to waterfalls and beaches to relax, but also immerse ourselves into the cu...

The counselors made me feel so at home in places I’ve never been, and the friends I made g...

It has always been a dream of mine to travel to Australia. I have always been fascinated with that country. I decided one year to begin saving up to take myself and eventually, with the help of Travel for Teens, my dream came true.

What inspired me to go abroad was a chance to travel alone and experience personal growth. I also really wanted to travel somewhere where I could be immersed in the culture and try their amazing food.
