Testimonials
Simola
"My dream was always to travel the world and I am so grateful that GROW Abroad has given me this AMAZING opportunity to go on an exchange year to Germany. GROW Abroad is not just working to make this journey of mine successful but they are also building a relationship with me that I will always treasure."
Thomas
“My exchange experience in Cape Town has been the most intriguing and eye opening experience of my life. I've learned so much, from the culture and way of living in south Africa to becoming more independent and confident in a new environment. I made amazing new friends hopefully for life.”
Levi
“One of the previous students my family hosted, knew my passion and encouraged me to pursue venturing overseas. I thought to myself, why not, I am ready for this, my family believes in me and the students that came through our home unknowingly played a part in me venturing overseas. What a dream!”
Matilda
“Being an exchange student is a unique experience. The way I lived with my host family was completely different then at home in Italy. But I had to adapt and I grew up on a personal level. I had the possibility to live for 6 moths in a new style of live that I’ve brought in my house once I got back.”
Liam
“The Netherlands has a very different, but beautiful, landscape than South Africa and it is extremely safe. You will recognise Afrikaans in the Dutch language and the friendly people will welcome you with open arms.”
Carolina
“Coming to South Africa as an exchange student has changed my life in many ways. I learned about the culture and traditions of this beautiful country, as well as its history. I had the opportunity to visit a lot of amazing places, and enjoy many of the best views I’ve ever seen."
Jessica
“Going on an exchange year was one of the best things I’ve ever experienced. I completely had to immerse myself into a different culture and see what everyday life was like for people of my age in Germany. I would not have changed my experience in any way!"
Frederico
“I am really enjoying this experience, everything is really different from Italy but that is the best thing about this exchange period because it allows me to discover a new culture, learn new languages and a different approach to life in general.”
