Thanks for all the help. The process has been relatively easy and smooth. I have now reached the ‘Ready to Go’ stage on my application so presumably I should be hearing from my camp coordinators within the next few weeks (?) - I hope so, anyway.

BUNAC was a really supportive and a very professional organisation to get the summer camp process going. They have an amazing pool of camps to choose from, and great support that respond fast and informatively. They have online events which can be very informative and helpful in the process for applying and getting hired for camps.

BUNAC helped me get through the visa process by giving me all the relevant information upfront and organizing the process through simple steps. However, the added fees on top of the fees I had to already put up for my Visa made the process quite expensive so keep that in mind before applying to this program. But overall, BUNAC helped me realize my dream of working in London for the summer.

I am grateful to BUNAC for sponsoring my visa for my time in London this past summer through Beyond Academy. While I am happy they agreed to sponsor me, there were a few hiccups mentioned that could be improved. One thing is that when I arrived in the UK, they sent me an email about an arrival form. The problem was I could not find it on my profile portal. I feel that the portal should have some improvements so that people can better understand and navigate it in the future. Lastly, for the required document, "Letter of Recommendation," my professor, who wrote it, would like to note that there should be some form of contact to send it to instead of uploading it to the portal. Overall, this was a great service, and I am forever grateful to them for sponsoring my visa.

I am currently here in Oz and having the best time. Experiencing new places everyday, Welcome to Travel have also been a fantastic help while I'm here. Coming to Oz has been one of the best things I've done - and I'm thinking about adding new Zealand and Asia to my travels too! Thank you for all your help in getting me here to Oz!

Thank you Gabrielle for taking the time to give BUNAC a 4 star rating and to share your travel photos! I'm so glad to hear that you are loving your time in Australia and that Welcome to Travel has been a fantastic help for you. It sounds like a great adventure, and I'm sure that venturing to New Zealand and Asia will be just as amazing. Thank you for your kind words and support - we really appreciate it! - BUNAC Team

Absolutely great support from Sharyn from the get go, I honestly do not know how that women provides the support she does. She was always there to answer any emails I had before I had arrived in New Zealand, greeted with a hug when we first met face to face and always so nice and polite. Since leaving the 4 day experience at BUNAC, Sharyn has constantly provided support by sending jobs all over the country, recommendations of places to stay and nice messages. The only way I would say BUNAC could improve is more games/ice breakers to start with. I don't think many of us felt that comfortable with each other until day 3/4 which was a shame as we were all leaving soon afterwards. I think the activities needed to be at the beginning or have more activities like games of pool/bowling etc.

I have just moved to New York from NZ on the J1. There are lots of steps and documents to fill out - the service helps you stay on track the whole way from initial consult, to pre departure, to arrival in your new city of choice. The process was streamlined and made so much more clear with the help of the team at BUNAC, and especially Jessie who was always so enthusiatic and thorough when answering my queries. I gave 4 stars because the phone lines are always busy, so they're not as reliable during emergencies. However the team always checks their emails and replies very quickly. Overall would highly recommend them for anyone wishing to do the J1.

Bunac was such a fab way to follow my dreams of working at a summer camp! It was a fairly easy process with them. My only qualm was that I was applying outside of the UK so didn’t have access to any of the camp fairs so I was advised to accept the first offer I was given remotely. Luckily for me it worked well and I went back for three summers! Shoutout to Roisin who is a fab help

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!
