Study Abroad / Study Tour in Vietnam | ABROADER

Vietnam has been an incredible experience for me. The colours, smells, and all the history and traditions have left a lasting impression on me.

I worked as a Communications Assistant at PanNature and learned how to explain complex ideas to different people. It was very interesting to see how environmental conservation works in Vietnam.

I also got to know the Vietnamese culture much better. I tried their food, learned traditional crafts and made new friends. It was great to feel like a part of the community.

Vietnam's history is amazing, from the ancient dynasties to their ability to withstand many occupations. I loved exploring the ancient temples and the markets. It was fun to see all the hustle and bustle in Hanoi's Old Quarter.

My GESI experience changed me in many ways. I now understand how everything is connected, and that we should be more sensitive to other cultures. I realized that even small actions can make a positive difference.

I'm very grateful to everyone who made this trip possible, especially to my mentor, Julie Le. She showed me so much and taught me a lot about cross-cultural understanding.

I will always remember Vietnam and all the memories, lessons, and friendships I made there. This experience showed me how important it is to engage with different cultures and make a positive impact on the world.

Thanks, GESI and Abroader, for giving me this amazing opportunity and helping me become a global citizen.

The journey to Hanoi was such a memorable and amazing experience. Upon arriving I was met with some of the sweetest and caring people I've ever met. They helped me the entire way as I integrated with my new surroundings! Throughout my time in Hanoi I made so many lasting friendships, we went to so many different landmarks in Hanoi and explored the beauty of Vietnam. I will cherish my friends and time I had and can't wait for what the next chapter of my life has in store! Until next time!
Thank you

Had an absolutely incredible time here and possibly the best two months of my life so far. Really appreciated the support that I had from ABROADR with giving details about living in Vietnam and navigating different cultural norms, social norms, and an entirely new city. The learning buddies during my stay were particularly helpful, and more than being just strangers they really became friends on the trip. Entire team is extremely responsive and willing to help - they put so much energy in the work.

The entire two weeks of the program was conducted well beyond my expectations. In addition to being informative and relevant to what I am currently studying, the trip exposed me to a completely new environment. Whilst this may, typically, be quite an overwhelming experience, the very kind people at abroader made us feel at home and ensured that we were on track with the program from day one. Thanks for the great memories and see you soon:))

The trip was extremely unique, guided by locals to ensure as “local” and authentic a trip as possible. Our tour was diverse and having left Vietnam I feel as though I have, because of this tour, a genuine grasp on Vietnamese culture, society, food and way of life. This trip has allowed me to make amazing friends I never thought I would and for that I am most very grateful. I would suggest to anyone who is unsure about embarking on a tour such as this one … take the step, you will find as I did that it will be well worth it

For the 4 weeks I was overseas, there was never a dull day. The program was clear and exciting. I am really happy I did this program and will never forget the experiences and friends I have made. They showed me all the tourist and local areas, which made the trip more enjoyable. Experiencing the different culture was a major highlight to me, as they helped me develop my Vietnamese. I felt safe with the people at Abroader and were always excited to hang out with us and know about our own culture as well. Overall the trip was amazing and I’d recommend it to anyone, it’s something I will never forget

What a trip, from day one right until the finish every day was something new. Facilitated by the local buddies and our dedicated, hard-working program coordinator Duy, our experience abroad was invaluable and allowed us to experience Vietnam and its culture in a way that would have definitely been impossible without them.
Industry visits were super interesting and something which never occurs when studying courses 'traditionally'. These definitely gave me an insight into how and where I might be applying my trade upon graduation.

Overall the trip was quite affordable too, especially considering we were away for a whole month. This was an unforgettable experience and I would recommend this type of program to anyone for which it is available.

The study tour was a fantastic program full of cultural and fun experiences in both Vietnam and Singapore. Before the trip both of these places had been on my travel list, so when the opportunity for this trip came up I couldn't say no and I'm so glad that I did it. The buddies, the people I travelled with and the organisers made the trip even better. Industries in both countries were super helpful and our visits to these factories was one of the highlights. Networking with these companies, the food , cultural exposure, the people and the organisers made it a beautiful way to study our university course!! Thank you!!!!
