EF Gap Year

Signing up for this program was a very big deal for me. I wasn’t ready to leave home. I wasn’t ready to go on a crazy adventure with strangers. It turned out to be the best decision I’ve made thus far. I had a blast exploring the world and meeting genuine people who now feel like family. I learned so much about myself, my interests, who I am as a person, and what I want in life. The experiences of this trip are life altering especially for people who’ve never had an opportunity like this before. l will always cherish being part of the EF family now.

I loved this program! It was great for developing independence while still having group events, and access to guidance and support. I also loved taking Spanish classes at EF Malaga; the teachers teach in spanish regardless of your level, which at first made me nervous but actually, I loved! I learned soo much in the short time being there, and am definitely more confident with my Spanish skills. I also loved how we got to travel to Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and Barcelona! Overall great and would definitely recommend!

I would 100% recommend this experience to everyone. I took gap year and wanted to do something outside of my comfort zone that would allow me to go out and see the world and most importantly grow as a person and find myself before going to college. The European Discovery was perfect for this. EF was so helpful the entire time, and the experience was amazing; it was the perfect balance of structure and independence. I met so many wonderful people and am even looking at doing another trip in the spring!
