My Gap Year Experience… (2024)

My experience with ARCC was really good. I am interested in solo traveling but wasn’t confident that I could until this trip. I feel that it gave me the skills to navigate places that are very different from mine. There was a good balance of fun group activities, historical/cultural sites, and cultural immersion. For example we would spend the majority of the day exploring Angkor Wat, learning about Cambodian history and afterwards we would swim in the hotel pool together. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to explore a country but doesn’t know where to start. I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who just wants a “gap year” because I found it was so much more than that.
