Why so good?
Because the thirst for travel is quenched while you challenge both your muscles and mind!

Travel as part of a Leap Team
The Leap is all about team work - we find that our leapers have more fun and are more effective when they travel as a group. They rally each other along and tackle the projects or internship head on together.

4 departures per year: Jan, Apr, July + Sept.  We put together the teams and hook you all up via Facebook before hand.

All you have to do is apply to book your place!

Average team size is 12, mix girls + boys, from all walks of life, ages 18 - 25.
