"I took the Bali Trip this month and it was truly one of the best experience I've ever had! Lindsey was an amazing group leader with a lot of energy and excitement. This trip had the perfect combination of having scheduled activities and free time to roam the country. I definitely look forward to attending another Under30Experiences trip in the future!" -Mario L.
"Under30Experiences has been such an incredible life changing experience! There's so many positive things about this fantastic group of people. That said, I've love to travel but it's not easy finding people to join you internationally. Under30Experiences has allowed me to fulfill my wanderlust by having an array of destinations you can go and you'll meet like minded people from around the country that accompany you on these trips. The trip leaders are fantastic as well, truely the most caring and unforgettable people. The trips are very safe, organized and packed full of adventure from the time you step off the plan until departure. I've already been to Bali and Colombia and I'm excited for Peru, France and Iceland this year with the group. Additionally, what's nice about these trips, is you do them in just a few days if you don't have a lot of vaca and over a holiday. Definitely recommend Under30Experiences to anyone who loves to travel and needs great people to experience it with." -Ashley H.
"I booked the Bali trip with no expectations, and I came out with priceless memories. Our U30X guide Lindsey and local guide Angga led an unforgettable trip. We were culturally immersed as if we were one of the Balinese locals. The village welcomed us with open arms. Our group, the activities, and the local cuisine were all amazing. If you love culture, travelling off the beaten path, being active, and sharing memories with cool people, this U30X trip is for you!" -R.
