"I just got home from the Bali trip and all of my expectations were exceeded. This was my second trip with Under30 and I knew it would be amazing, but I really have no words for how transformative this week was. We followed the itinerary, but they also made room for us to customize aspects of our trip. I can’t wait for my next trip with Under30 later this year!" -Jenny L.
"I just got home from the Bali trip and it was a life changing experience! The way that you are completely immersed in the culture makes this trip so special. Every single activity you do on this trip is awesome and there’s a nice balance between free time and organized activities. I completely fell in love with Bali on this trip and it far exceeded my expectations!" -Olivia C.
"Just got back from my trip and it was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I was a little nervous about traveling by myself but my Trip Leader made it so easy to contact her with questions/concerns before the trip even started. We were able to do everything we wanted to do on this trip and then some. I like that we were able to do touristy things but also really immerse ourselves into the culture. I really feel like I made some lifelong friends on this trip. Going to start saving up for my next trip now!" -Alex T.
