I was delighted with my recent trip to summer camp in America. I absolutely adore camp - it is quite literally my home away from home. It was my second time going, but my first time traveling with Bunac. Everything worked out well, I did however feel like I was left to myself quite a lot during the planning period. Because I wasn't traveling from the UK, I had a hard time getting answers to questions I had about visa appointments and Covid rules and had to figure a lot of it out myself. I was also receiving emails stating that embassy appointments were sold out when this was not true for my country. I would highly suggest making 2 separate emailing lists, so those of us outside of the UK don't get links to the embassy in London, or links on how to book a covid test that we essentially can't use. But other than that, I was really happy traveling through Bunac, and I would do it again!

I really liked the teams call from Bunac staff to explain what to expect from the camp experience - they gave lots of helpful advice like how to get your SIM card sorted etc and this made the initial few days I’m America much easier. Overall they were very friendly and helpful with all the forms and applications and I would definitely book with them again!

My adventure with Bunac began at the end of May 2022. My company was not familiar with the post-Brexit sponsorship procedures and the timeframe was far too long for my internship which was due to start at the end of August. They then contacted Bunac and from there it was super efficient! I got answers to my questions very quickly, there was always a member of Bunac staff available to answer me. The platform is very simple to use, everything was very easy, I was able to put in all my documents, the company had a call with Bunac and I had just received my sponsorship certificate on 13 June 2022! What a relief! Today I am in London doing my internship, thank you Bunac.

BUNAC have been great! Really informative, incredibly helpful and always there to answer any questions I had. I would recommend BUNAC 100%! I had an amazing time at camp in New York State and am currently in San Diego having travelled to San Francisco and Honolulu, with trips to Vegas, the Grand Canyon and New Orleans before heading back to NYC and home. Thanks BUNAC!

When I first contacted BUNAC, I was told they couldn't attend to me until I further explained myself. Positives: -You guys were a bit responsive to queries and questions Things to improve upon: -I think the process is quite clear but laborious. It took me and my colleagues 3 months to fully present all the documents that needed to be approved. You guys can further streamline the process and make it easier.

The BUNAC care about my internship was outstanding - from the very first e-mail to the call I've done it I could feel that BUNAC was trying to truly understand how was my experience in the internship (which was great btw) and also how much I've enjoyed living in the UK. Really grateful for making me reflect on my learnings and providing me the safe space I needed.

Previously used camp America who unfortunately were an easier company to work with. their paperwork & visa proceeds was a lot easier & less time consuming plus the communication with bunac varied. I was told i didn’t have to travel for my visa by bunac & then had to organise super expensive travel last minute to obtain the visa.
