INVEST IN YOURSELF
Do you want to spend your summer in California? Or maybe in New York or one of the other 50 states that make up the renowned land of opportunity? It’s well known, university life is not easy at all! Lots of theory and little practice, and working in the meantime to support your travels or leisure activities can be really exhausting. We at Ulisse offer you something unique and extraordinary: the opportunity to take a great journey, not as a simple tourist, but as a true citizen!
You will live in the United States for three months, an experience you can only have once in your life, while you are still a university student.

You will earn enough money to pay for the program but...
The program offered by Ulisse Adventures is non-profit! It is essential for us to make it clear that you will have the opportunity to recover all the expenses incurred to start and join the program, but the possibility of doing so will largely depend on how you manage your budget during your stay in the United States (such as for leisure, travel, and recreational activities). The choice will be entirely yours!
Our advice is to seize this unique opportunity while you are still a university student and to embark on this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
You won’t regret it!
The only bad thing is...
The Work&Travel program in the United States offers a limited number of visas each year. Only those who believe in the essence of the experience will succeed in obtaining one and living the experience of a lifetime.
