Eventually, we just rented our own car and we made it fine to the next city over. We then hitchhiked with this weird Australian guy for a while. He was very interesting. I was actually terrified because we had just seen the movie, Wolf Creek. (if you haven’t heard of Wolf creek- it’s a scary movie about a true story where travellers were victims of a serial killer in the Australian Outback). One day there was a stop check at two in the afternoon on Sunday the cops are doing with breathalyzers.

I am Laëtitia, I’m French Canadian! I have done two IEC experiences. One was in France, I lived in Paris. My second experience was in Australia. When I applied for France I didn’t know it was IEC because I had to apply through the French consulate

Bean Voyage is a feminist nonprofit that collaborates with smallholder women coffee producers, currently in Costa Rica. Our work involves primarily two things:..

OYU is a national movement of young leaders who have decided to join forces to increase opportunity and decrease poverty in America. We are a group as diverse as America. Our members are Black, White, Native American, Latinx, Asian, and Mixed Heritage as well as different religions, ethnicities, genders and sexual identities representing urban, rural, and tribal communities.

Our primary place of operation is a place called the ‘Corridor of Shame ‘ in South Carolina. It is a series of schools and school districts that have actually sued the state for extreme underfunding. We work there to fill in the education gap and we use coding as a fun way to get youth to use logic, computational thinking, and reasoning, along with other important skills - And along the way, we do get some aspiring software engineers coming out of the program.
