Making new friends in Uganda
When I decided to take a gap year with AV, I did not expect it to have such a large impact on me. It is truly an unforgettable experience.
AV gives you freedom and independence which are two important skills that you will discover and use to enrich your experience. It makes everything you do so much more rewarding because you are not depending on anyone but yourself to make a difference.
The Ugandans you meet will change you. They will show you love and wisdom.
Your fellow AVs will become friends that you always stay in touch with and other travelers you meet along the way will show you adventure.
There isn’t a day that I go without thinking about my time in Uganda last spring. The things you discover about yourself in Uganda will stay with you forever and it is the ideal location for these discoveries to take place.
