The best trip of my life. You do so much in a small amount of time. What you get out of the program versus the cost is totally worth it. Memories for a lifetime.

Came in knowing only a couple people and left with what felt like a family. easily the best month of my life.

I think my favorite part of the trip was how quickly we all realized that we were doing something that most people only dream about. I swam in the Great Barrier Reef, I climbed the mountains they used in Lord of the Rings, I jumped out of a plane and off a bridge! It was a once in a life time trip and I think it was one of the best choices I've made since coming to UGA.

I would recommend this study abroad program to everyone. There is so much variety in the places you go and activities you do, that it fits everyone's personality. It opened my eyes to so many things, and it was by far the best month of my life!

My discover abroad experience in Australia and New Zealand has allowed me to interact with local people, develop an understanding of different cultures, and experience unparalleled adventures including scuba diving in the great barrier reef and skydiving in the adventure capital of the world.

If I could give any piece of advice to anyone, it would be to take advantage of any opportunity to see the world. This program has left me feeling full of life, culture, and adventure.

Going on this trip was the best decision I made as a freshman at UGA. Even though everyone on my cohort was so different, we all worked so cohesively together and I know that I have an amazing group of best friends to return to once we get back to Athens. The locations are incredible, but the pictures still never do it justice. This trip taught me to live in the moment and enjoy every second on that trip, because it flew by!!

The staff, the 32 friends I gained, and the experiences we shared were once in a lifetime things that I did at 20 years old?? What??

I came in with an open mind and left with 32 new friends, I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
Maymester 2019 Participant
I knew when I signed up for this trip it would be a trip of a lifetime, but nothing could have prepared me for everything I experienced. The people, the things we saw, and the adventures we encountered were everything I could ever imagine and more.
Maymester 2019 Participant
This trip gave me the opportunity to visit parts of the world I would have unlikely visited, all the while learning about the local culture and environment with peers sharing similar interests.
