With summer programmes in full swing, we've been inundated with recent updates, news and photos from travellers living it up around the globe!

We've also been keeping busy here at BUNAC, with a new look website launched! Let us know your thoughts, and be sure to check out the new site.

"I would have never been able to work in America if it wasn't for the BUNAC programme which has opened doors for me... Most of all living in NYC is insane! I love it, I've made many friends and have been networking loads!"
