Why you should go
Discover new cultures
Exploring history, seeing how the locals live and developing a new global perspective is all part of the EF tour experience. Climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, ride the famous London Eye, and see all of Athens from the Acropolis. When the world is at your fingertips, anything is possible!
Experience the world with your friends
Imagine traveling the world with your friends, shopping at Parisian boutiques, exploring the Tower of London, or walking the Great Wall of China together. Travelling with old friends and making new ones is part of the fun of traveling abroad, and the memorable adventures you’ll share will last a lifetime. Bring your friends on an EF tour. They’ll thank you!
Discover your potential
Maybe it’s being away from the comforts and routine of home, or maybe it’s the excitement of visiting a new country. Whatever it is, international travel will make you feel more self-confident when you return home. You gain invaluable leadership skills, greater global awareness and an international perspective that only comes from travelling abroad.
Achieve higher grades
Want to perfect your Spanish at a restaurante or see the Mona Lisa in person? Chances are your grades will improve when you return home from your trip abroad. Why? Because you’re not just learning about the Spanish language or Italian masterpieces from a textbook; you’re actually living it.
Get into a better university or college
More universities and colleges are making cultural awareness part of the curriculum, and no matter what your post-secondary prospects are, experiencing life abroad can give you the edge you need on applications—simple as that!
Enhance career prospects
It’s never too early to think about your career. The experience may help you determine a career path. Since cultural awareness and respect is always important, you can talk about your international experience to stand out in job interviews.
