Askari WCP

We looked for an ethical and respectful reserve and Askari manages wildlife in that sense. Every day was a discovery, every day could be a surprise, you never know what can be seen while out on the reserve. It’s such an adventure!

Katie, Bronwyn, Stuart and Andrew are an amazing team. Passionate and passing on that passion to all the volunteers. I learnt a lot from them about mammals, birds, plants, trees but also about poaching etc. These four weeks at Askari will be unforgettable!

CEA - Cultural Experiences Abroad

I studied abroad with CEA in Aix-en-Provence, France in the summer of 2017. I cannot say one negative thing about this program. The staff, both in the U.S. and onsite in France, were absolutely amazing, attentive, and supportive from beginning to end. They did everything to make the entire application process as clear and efficient as possible and were always there to answer questions and address concerns both myself and my parents had. They offer an impressively wide range of cities and courses to choose from. While abroad, they offer several additional excursions and cultural events (such as a 4th of July barbecue or soap making) for students to enhance their experience. My school (IAU) was beautiful and had all the amenities and luxuries offered by a university in the U.S. My homestay helped me to improve my French more than I thought possible in just six weeks. CEA Study Abroad works hard to ensure every student has a positive and unforgettable experience. Studying abroad with CEA was one of the best decisions I have ever made and would make again in a heartbeat. Definitely recommend and definitely worth every penny!

Askari WCP

I spent two weeks at Askari and I enjoyed every minute. Katie, Ed, all the staff and volunteers are amazing and this place (Pidwa) is amazing. The sleep out in the reserve, all the laughs we had and taking care of all the animals will always be in my memories. I will miss the Askari’s good vibes for a very long time.

RCDP Nepal

I did my project for 3 weeks in the south of Nepal, in Chitwan. I was with a friend of mine and we were sharing a room in a family. The family was very welcoming and as we were with the manager of the project, the whole family was speaking English very well so communication was pretty easy. Concercing the work, we were working on a field for the conservation project and we were seeding trees and some vegetable to distribute to the local community. I found the project very fulfilling and I really felt like it was useful.
RCDP Nepal is one of the few organization which give all the money in Nepal and so we know our money will help the locals, not like many other company where money don't even leave the US.

Aliore

This company offers a very very poor service. Soizick who runs the company is totally inflexible and unreasonable and charges a very high fee for which you get very little in return. You have to pay money up front and then are offered a totally unsuitable family and are offered no choice whatsoever. Do not waste your money. There are other much more effective ways of living in France.

Forum Nexus

I had always wanted to study abroad during college. Until this past summer I had never been outside of the United States and Forum-Nexus provided me with the opportunity to do just that! I was able to see many parts of Europe in a safe and enjoyable way in just a little over a month! Forum-Nexus has become one of my fondest memories and I catch myself talking about different things that happened throughout the trip constantly! I created relationships with people from all over the United States, Egypt, China and England! How many people can say that? Not many. The teachers were approachable and very knowledgeable about cultures and business, and made learning fun! I enjoyed every aspect about this program, and hope to one day soon be able to go back to Europe and experience more cultures and environments!

Greenheart Travel

I had a fantastic experience! My host family placement was absolutely perfect, they were the sweetest people. My school was great and everyone was super friendly. Greenheart takes care of everything from booking the plane ticket, to screening and finding a host family, to registering you in school. All you have to do is apply, pack and jump on the plane. The Greenheart staff are super helpful and extremely patient. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun way to travel and learn along the way.

CEA - Cultural Experiences Abroad

I rarely write reviews but upon reading so many bad reviews, I felt really compelled to create a username and write a review on here for CEA. I had a WONDERFUL experience with CEA, life changing, actually. I studied there in 2007, but the staff is the exact same and I'm sure that it has only improved since then. I am now a French Teacher, and I would never discourage any of my students from studying in Aix en Provence with CEA, as I did. I lived in an apartment just off of the Rue du 4 Septembre. The location was awesome and the location of the office was awesome as well, and I know that they have since moved to the Cours Mirabeau, which is about as centrally located as you can be. I walked to school every day through the most charming of cobble street roads, past the market square and though the center of everything. Our school was across the street from a 13th century chapel and the bells would chime every evening as I walked home and grabbed myself a crepe on the way. My apartment was perfect. I was wasn't fancy- it was a student apartment, and all of the furnishings and what not were basic. It was small. Very small. It's Europe! My windows opened up onto a school courtyard and the first day that I arrived and opened up and looked out my windows, I was greeted by a little school boy who shouted 'Bonjour Mademoiselle!' I will say that if I could have done it over again, I would have stayed with a host family because the students who did seemed to have an advantage in speaking more than I did at home with my American roommate. I was just nervous that I would get put with a family that I didn't like- which happens.
My classes were awesome. Not a word of English and I felt that I was appropriately placed by the placement test that we were given on the first day of classes.
The town is a relatively large city for the region and it has good parts and bad parts. Don't be alarmed if you see some beggars, some graffiti, and a little bit of trash. For the most part, the center of town, which is where the university aix-marseille is and where the office is, is immaculate.
I really enjoyed our excursions. We went to the Camargue, Sainte Marie de la mer, Arles, Avignon, Monte Carlo, Eze, Nice, Cassis and more on weekend excursions. There was opportunity to travel on your own during spring breaks and students went to different countries around Europe and even to Africa.
I really can't say enough about my study abroad. No, it wasn't perfect, but it was perfect to me! Please contact Vivienne in the Aix office if you have any questions and I know she will help you. She is English speaking as she is originally from Ireland.

Volunteers for Peace

My 15 years old son went to Bordeaux for a 3-week Teen Volunteer Program. I contacted Allie via telephone; we live abroad, and had very specific questions. She was very courteous, efficient, organized, and very professional.

Their French counterpart, Soladiariete Jeunesses, was just as professional. Their staff of volunteers were outstanding, especially the person in charge.
I had four objectives in mind:
1. My son had to improve his French;
2. He needed a good dose of humility, being a obnoxious teen;
3. He had to see what working, volunteering, rules and chores, outside the home meant.
4. Learn some independence, and how to travel alone.

My goals were met. He returned home, not an angel, but definitively improved.

He had to change planes, catch a shuttle, and find the right train and buy a ticket. All this was accomplished on a Sunday, where everything in Europe is notoriously shut down! He arrived and left a day after they specified dates, and the staff had no problem accommodating the altered schedule.

My only suggestion for this experience is that for teens (usually on their first travel alone experience) they could have a meeting point closer than the camp village, a render-vouz of a few hours at the airport, or the main train station.

Apart from the actual project (restoring an old mansion), there was kitchen duty (cooking and cleaning), bathroom cleaning (that’s a tough one), and he never complained. He actually volunteered for extra work.

The experience for him was very rewarding; he made new friends from other countries (only 2 teens per country are accepted - thus having a very international pool of people), and worked hard.

Thank you VFP, thank you Allie. We will definitively do it again.
