Communications Abroad

Messaging:

All of our groups will be invited to join a instant messaging group chat in order to efficiently share information and get to know one and other. This is most often done using WhatsApp but several countries and regions use different apps such as WeChat in China and Line in South East Asia and we encourage that participants familiarise themselves with these before departure. Using these apps in country will help you communicate with local staff, make new friends and take advantage of additional services like QR payment and location sharing. 

Internet:

We aim to arrange for all our accomodation partners to have WIFI access and encourage our participants to buy local SIM cards with internet data on arrival or in their first few days. Please note that certain countries and regions may have weaker internet, or indeed stronger, than others. 

*We strongly encourage you to get an Esim ahead of travelling overseas- learn how here.
