Free to Roam Adventures

During my gap year I worked with Susan at Free to Roam Adventures. She helped me so much in trying to find budget friendly options for my gap year and in preparing me to travel internationally for the first time. Without Susan, it’s likely I would not have found the programs that I did partake in during my gap year. She was very thorough during advising and I could tell that she really cared about helping me and finding the activities that were a perfect fit for me. Overall, Susan was a great advisor and mentor and I am so happy I was able to work with her this year!

Free to Roam Adventures

I had a great experience with Susan. She especially did a great job of keeping in contact with me and making sure that I was getting things done for the programs she introduced me to. She also did a great job of finding a wide range of activities to do during my gap year. I appreciate how well she listened to my criteria for the programs I would consider doing. She was also very helpful regarding my resume and just general things I needed to get done before college. I was really happy with the work she did when she went through the packing list for the gap semester camping trip she found for me and made a comprehensive list of best places to find the items and what extra items I might need for the trip.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Either rock climbing or sliding down ice on a hiking trail in the Grand Canyon.
