My experience in the USA was one of the most unforgettable adventures of my life. I met wonderful people, saw incredible places and faced challenges that made me more independent and confident. I am leaving with countless memories, new friendships and the feeling that this journey was absolutely worth it.

Work and Travel became much more than just one summer in the USA. It pushed me outside my comfort zone, broadened my outlook and helped me grow both personally and professionally. I met incredible people who made this place feel like a second home. It is an experience that changes you in ways you do not expect and cannot truly be described — it has to be lived.

I had the chance to join a student summer program with Orange in Alaska and it was unforgettable. The job gave me valuable experience and new skills, while my free time was spent in incredible nature with new friends from different countries. The atmosphere was wonderful and I would do it again without hesitation.

I came for one summer and am leaving with a part of myself somewhere among the mountains. Alaska was not an escape from reality — it was a reality I never believed existed.

My Work and Travel summer in Cooper Landing, Alaska, was one of the most exciting and unforgettable experiences of my life. Alaska is incredible: you feel how long the days are and how beautiful the nights become under the northern lights. In four months I improved my English, gained valuable work experience, became more independent and confident, made real friendships and discovered Alaska's beauty. This adventure taught me to appreciate life and every moment.

My stay in Alaska was an incredible and unforgettable experience. I enjoyed the beautiful nature and explored a new and very different place. I met many interesting people and learned more about American culture. The people here are friendly and welcoming, and I loved spending time with them and making new memories. I am very happy I had the chance to be in Alaska and will always remember my time here.

Thank you to Deni and Orange — without their help and guidance, my summer would not have been the same. I am incredibly happy to have experienced Alaska and grateful for this unique opportunity to gain valuable experiences while we are young.

I’m Ani and I have worked at Orange for almost four years. Thanks to Work and Travel, I have joined the program five times. I spend my summers in New Jersey, working both as a restaurant server and in an ice-cream shop. The program lets me work, gain experience, travel around America, and make unforgettable friendships. For me, Work and Travel is much more than a summer job — it is an experience that helps me grow every year.
