Winterline is One of a Kind

Review
Winterline provides a variety of experiences that no other program can.
If you're like I was when you were looking for a gap year program you probably don't really know what you want. Do you want to spend time outdoors? Do you want to go to a design school? Do you want to visit countries to learn more about their culture?
There is no other program like Winterline because Winterline's goal as a program is to make it so you don't have to choose any one focus for your year. Other programs I've seen provide things like cultural studies, or outdoor survival or technology design, but never a combination of them.
Winterline has the right idea because you shouldn't have to choose. A gap year is all about exploring as a means to learn more about yourself right?
Winterline is different from the rest because of what I call the 'sheer variety' of experiences. You actually do something different every two weeks. You are constantly learning new things. Every time I found myself not liking a part of the program, we would shortly take off to go somewhere else. With no other program will you find yourself learning about everything from eastern medicine to robotics to scuba diving to outdoor survival to how plants grow to hotel/restaurant work to...the list is nearly endless. You won't find anyone in the world other than a Winterline student who can say they've done all of these within one year.
Whatever negative comments you might see about Winterline know this: If you want to do as many different things as you possibly can within your year, Winterline is beyond any doubt your best choice.
Some Advice:
-Expect Nothing. Winterline is a new company, and its still changing (always for the better) every year. No one can tell you what your Winterline experience will be like, because (as of now) no-one has yet done what you're signing up for. Right now, it's a work in progress headed in the right direction. There will times when you were hoping and even expecting something and it won't go down the way you thought--that's life. Some moments will be miserable, some will be just ok, but others will the best thing you've ever done. Those are the moments that make it all worth it.
