I must start by saying how wonderful my program was and how without Katherine, I would never have found my way to Nepal. It was the perfect place for me and my values and she pointed me in the right direction very quickly.
Katherine is extremely attentive and personal but also professional when trying to get to know me and what would suit me best for the year. Within a few meetings, we had found the Nepal program and not long later my EF France program as well.
She's a walking database and it's easy to tell that she knows gap years like the back of her hand. Her suggestions were also safe, within budget, and even better than she described them.
Planning a completely open year can be overwhelming and those who want to have a gap year with the greatest impact on their life should plan it through Katherine, without a doubt.
What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
To those planning/meeting with Katherine, I suggest being very open and honest. Think bigger than you thought you could, and you won't be disappointed. Be open to your plans changing, too, though, as you will surely find something better than your original plan.
