When I was 19 years old, which I started my first year degree studies in University of Southampton, my seniors who had joined BUNAC and had a great experience to travel around United States before told me about BUNAC. They guaranteed to me that I would feel regretted if I didn't try BUNAC.

BUNAC is an organization that do students exchange program. It provides a great opportunity to students to work abroad in other coutries such as Australia and United States over summer vacation and traveling around the countries yourself in backpack. They helped you to do all the preparations such as visa application, works seeking and application, air ticket purchase and so forth which have saved a lot of your problems.

Well, I like to try new and fresh things. Therefore I joined BUNAC and yes I went to United States to work in a theme park as a room attendant in the hotel. I must admit that it was a great experience which I will never forget. I have worked for almost two months and traveled around United States for one month. Honestly, the working period was very suffering and painful. However the fun part is I got the chance to meet a lot of people from different culture and background. It felt totally different when talking to other people who is different from you. I have learnt and seen a lot indeed which is impossible to see and learn from school or even university. I think this is what we call "society university".

The traveling part was the best. The route of my travel (with some friends who went to United States together) was: Niagara Falls - Toronto (Canada) - Washington D.C. - Florida (Walt Disney World and Universal Studios) - Grand Canyon - Los Angelos - San Francisco - Chicago - New York. It was great, too great to describe in words. By the way did I mention that the goods (clothings, everything) in United States especially those branded stuff are very reasonable.
