Brooke Barsanti
EF Gap Year Consultant – Boston, MA
Honestly, school just wasn’t my "thing"–or so I thought! Other than tolerating English and hating math, I had no clarity or passion from an academic standpoint during high school; it wasn’t until I chose to do an alternative spring break in Latin America that I realized how lucky I was to receive an education, and how powerful travel can be.
One alternative spring break led to another, which lead to studying abroad in the Czech Republic, which led to traveling most of Europe, hiking the Inca Trail in Peru, roadtripping through Ireland, and ultimately ending up at EF! The best learning takes place in oceans of Costa Rica, the museums in France, and the crowded streets of Beijing.
I know talking on the phone isn't anyone's favorite thing to do, but here's why calls are part of our process: taking a gap year is an incredible, life-changing decision—one that you'll feel way more confident about after talking it all over with an expert who can guide you through the process of building your perfect gap. Baby steps, though, so feel free to start by texting me!
