Student travel can be one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of your life. But when you think of taking time off from school or work, the first thing that comes to mind for many is the cost. Can you afford it? Is it even possible to travel as a student without going into debt? Yes! Here’s how AdventureEXP makes student travel/gap years affordable—and even profitable.
Earn While You Travel
The biggest financial benefit of a destination work program with AdventureEXP is the ability to earn money while traveling. With programs offering jobs in amazing destinations all across the US and New Zealand, you won’t just be spending money—you’ll be making it! Whether you’re working in a café in a bustling city or teaching skiing in a beautiful mountain town, you can fund your travels through seasonal work or internships.
One-Time Affordable Program Fee with A BUNCH of Benefits
You pay a one-time program fee to make sure you’re invested in the experience because these are real jobs with real employers. Once you enroll, you’ll be paired with a program coordinator to guide you through your entire experience, access our network of top employers in seasonal locations, live in our subsidized housing in beautiful places, access our online accredited Life Skills course, travel in a community of likeminded students and have support from us every single step of the way from interview preparation before you commit to a job/destination all the way through to putting your travel and work experience on your resume after a life-changing season of destination work. With all of these services bundled into one affordable program fee, you don’t have to worry about hidden costs or unexpected fees during your program. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the experience!
Scholarships and Financial Aid Options
AdventureEXP offers a variety of scholarships for students and young travelers to help make the dream of a gap year a reality. From covering part of your program fees to providing a travel stipend, these funding opportunities can reduce the financial strain of traveling as a student. Many of our participants are surprised to find that their gap year is not only affordable but is designed to help you leave the program with additional money in your pocket! Many of our gap year students use our program to save up for other experiences on their gap year too!
Low-Cost Travel Destinations
Through our network of vetted employers, affordable housing and support, we are finding ways to live like a local in some of the most incredible places in the world while gaining skills, learning about yourself, meeting new people and making money!
Gain Valuable Skills While Traveling
Traveling as a student is an investment in both your personal and professional development. By taking part in a destination work program, you gain valuable experience that can help you stand out in the job market. This experience, combined with the financial skills you’ll learn while budgeting for your travels, will provide you with valuable life skills that last long after your travel or study abroad ends.
Student travel doesn’t have to be an expensive luxury exclusively for wealthy families—it can be an affordable opportunity to learn, grow, and experience the world. AdventureEXP makes it easier than ever to travel in a way that’s both cost-effective and enriching.
Travel is too beneficial for students to be unaffordable. At our core is accessibility of these experiences to all people. Come along and learn more by submitting a quick online application today.
