Plant a tree this Earth Day!
Earth Day is celebrated around the world this Sunday, April 22. As a leader in worldwide travel, Go Overseas is proud to support the mission of Earth Day. Though many of us have heard of Earth Day, we may not understand its significance. Take a few minutes today to think about your impact on the environment and learn about Earth Day.
What is Earth Day? A Little History
Earth Day was founded in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson, a US Senator from Wisconsin. Nelson sought to make environmental protection a national priority. The founding of Earth Day has led to many...
Go Overseas is pleased to release our Official 2012 Teach Abroad Report. As a leader in the industry, publishing new, relevant research is an important part of our mission. Our users often ask us some of the following questions:

This report contains answers to these questions and many more. Using Google’s search numbers, our staff carefully compiled a list of the...
Go Overseas at Lessons from Abroad
Go Overseas believes in the importance of community and supporting meaningful travel abroad.
This past Saturday, we represented Go Overseas at the Lessons from Abroad Conference at San Francisco State University. The conference was for study abroad alumni that are interested in ways to stay connected to the international travel industry by volunteering, teaching, interning, or working abroad. The conference also featured panels and discussions from experts in the industry, offering advice on marketing and applying study abroad experiences to alumni.
We met...
We're giving away tons of Apple gear!
Last fall we ran our first Leave-a-Review contest. We partnered with the best outdoor companies in the world (Patagonia, CLIF Bar, Marmot, Mountain Hardwear, Timbuk2, and Camelbak) to award great prizes to people who left reviews. Go Overseas sponsored the grand prize, an around the world airline ticket. The winner, Terri Wingham, is on her amazing six month trip right now (currently in India after several weeks in Vietnam).
We’re not one to let success lull us into complacency. We’re back at it with another contest: more prizes, more reviews, more...

So a lot of my day is actually spent off Go Overseas and on other websites and blogs. I really enjoy reading about and interacting with fellow travelers who are either teaching, studying, or volunteering abroad (this is actually the best part of my job). I recently came across a couple posts that were discussing 'what makes a good global citizen,' and why anyone should care. I personally think that there is no right answer that fits within everyones framework, but it is becoming an increasingly important concept to explore and discuss as more people seek out opportunities...
As you can probably imagine, we've received many inquires regarding our fall Go Overseas Study Abroad Scholarships, and we appreciate your patience! Today, we're excited to formally announce one of the recipients of our $1000 scholarships. In total, we received over 700 applications during this scholarship session and we thoroughly enjoyed reading each one and learning more about why studying abroad is important to all of you.
We want to thank everyone who submitted an application this fall. Many of you came up with some very creative video submissions and we wish we could award scholarships...
Go is extremely proud and happy (even giddy) to announce the launch of our updated Rating and Review System. The Go Review system speaks to the heart and soul of this website. We’ve included all sorts of helpful and fun new features in our review system. We think our new review system looks pretty darn spiffy. As our famous Marketing Director, Tucker Hutchinson, likes to say, “It’s 2.0”.
So sue us, we’re proud parents and we’re not going to stop bragging about our beautiful child. We want the world to know about our review system. We don’t plan on stopping until we have extensive reviews for...
Why do you travel?
The best way for me to explain why I travel so much is to simply state: it is an escape from the ordinary and a search for something extraordinary. If you are on this site and reading this, I am going to make a fair assumption that you too are searching for something beyond your own horizons.
But why do it? What makes seeing the Pyramids of Giza or enduring a 16 hour flight to Australia so satisfying? Why not stay close to home and visit that local museum you have never been to? First, you may be surprised to know that some people actually do this and feel no desire at all...
