  • I got one that invited me to England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. But when i google the program many disturbing things came up. I would search it up and look at the links on the page if i were you.

    Least to say even though it sounded great on the paper, i am not going. Sorry to be a party pooper..

  • got a letter says im going to china!!!

  • Got my letter in the mail today about going to Australia! :D

  • @LovelyRose97 me too.. does evryone get one, or only specially chosen?

  • @SuperAlistair10 I'm not really sure...

  • @LovelyRose97 mm, its weird, because im not tht smart, i mean, i dont get awesome grades,. but i am good at soccer (football), is tht possbly why?/

  • @SuperAlistair10 Well, I hear that students who play sports can get them as well. This is my first yr getting an invite so I don't know very much about the program.

  • @LovelyRose97 ahh

  • I got a question how did Kids get invited to this Program?

  • i was invited to go to australia next year! confused on how we are chosen though?

  • i was invited to go to australia next year soo excited

  • @jen5999 idk thts what im wondering too

  • I got invited to the australian trip I really wanna go but it's like 7 grand

  • traditions of europe trip for me hopefully.

  • i got my letter today i get to go to EUROPE :)!!!!!!

  • I got my letter today, to go to australia!

    how do we get picked for it?

    and I heard theres an interview, is the interview hard? or does everyone pass it?

    I really hope i can go :D

  • i received my letter today.....but i researched a bit and many say it's a fraud.....is it???? It does seem like a great opportunity......but..

  • I just got an invitation to the European Heritage trip. Don't know if we can afford it, but I'll certainly try! I'll try my hardest to go, mark my word, and I WILL SUCCEED!!! XD

  • Just got back from leadership forum in dc it was so much fun and I'll never forget it:)

  • It took me alot of hard work, but I was able to raise all $7000 by myself. It's not a huge goal if you actually try. Look out Europe!

  • @Dayze305 No it's not just for "Rich people" you can fundraise and they also have scholarships and awards Etc. It's an experience of a lifetime ! You can't just let it go because of the price ! It's possible to raise ALL the funds :P

  • I heard that usually rich kids get to go to this prgram. My sister was mailed an invitation and my dad was REALLY VERY happy BUT once he saw the price he had to break it my sis that she couldn't go..

  • @Dayze305 ya it is kinda expensive but u can still normally raise the money my dad doesnt have a job and my mom only works part time but we have almost raised the money :)

  • I'm going to the Experience Australia (i think thats its name) one this summer in July:3 Is anyone else going to? I'm so excited I can't help but imagine how the plane ride and stuff will be like:D

  • I have been to England and france in 2007 and China in 2009. It is nice that you get to go but sometimes it is not worth it. I have got 20 credits from my 2 trips I have tried to use them at my high school the school district won't let me. so it's like I have did all that work for no reason !!!!

  • look people i am 22 years old and i am an alumni of 3 trips. yes the trips are expensive and i honestly do not know how my mother afforded it since i grew up lower middle class, but they were the best experiences of my life. i went to England, Ireland, wales, Australia, new zealand, and Hawaii. If i had a chance to go again i would. yes it is expensive but for those people that think this is a scam you are being naive, this is a great program and i highly recommend it.

  • @lblueovrosese can you find out how she did? Because honestly I dont think its fair that people who dont have money cant get to experience these wonderful opportunities..

    I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles but have always had a thirst for knowledge and travel.. its a fucking SHAME that only the rich little snobs get the chances to experience this kind of stuff..

    Lucky you that you have a mom who hooked you up so good though regardless of your economic situation :)

  • The people saying this program isa scam are incorrect and need to do some research before saying that. I have gone on a trip and im going on another one this year.

  • well i am going to go for the summer of 2011 to japan and i am so excited!!!!!!!!!!

  • @singtitina have fun! i went there last year and it was a blast! it can get tiring at times but its worth it!

  • @singtitina doesnt look like thats happening anymore :(

  • @thricepunker99 yeah i am so mad it got cancled but they said we can still go somewhere else like china so i am still excited!!!!

  • OMG its not a scam!! You guys are immature! There are people on here saying they have actually went. If they are saying they went and it wasnt bad for them then that should tell you that its not a scam! You guys cant judge shit until you have gone to a meeting

  • first of all, research it before u say its a scam, and u dont hav to b smart to get in. and u dont randomly get picked. ur teachers nominate u. ome way i found out it was real: the national teacher thing with the apple. srrsly, u ghink the gov would pick a scam, id think so

  • i get to go to japan in june

  • @ZachMan542 sweet!!! i get to go to the vatican, italy, switzerland, austria and france :) i hope it doesnt cost alot though

  • I did this and went from france to malta! it was an AMAZINGG experience! and i learned a lot about the culture and everything!! i was actually excited to wake up everyday at 6am to go to another place :D

  • No one who claims it's a "scam" seems to have gone on a trip themselves. I went to Australia a few years back and I will tell you that a lot of the things are unique and cannot be achieved by a person outside of P2P. I recommend to anybody!

  • @brendan603 i was intived to go for an international wrestling team to compete but i couldn't go because it was to much money is there a way to go for cheaper,some sort of scholarship,and if so please respond and how much did it cost for you

    Thank you

  • its a scam for sure it is way overly expensive for what you get as a matter of fact i got a letter in the mail today about how i am not a "member" anymore im in college now my trip was 2 years ago I never knew there even was such a membership. I'll tell you what though if you were invited and you have 6-8 thousand dollars laying around and you are a good people person the friends you meet will be awesome not to mention if you want a gf or bf this organization is the best matchmaking service ever

  • its not an illegal scam but its just lies. the trips are real but scholarships mentioned aren't, no one is "chosen" or "invited". they send the letters to random students. my friend got it for exceptionaly "good" grades when he got straight Ds the last 2 years and got put an in alternative school for fighting. its just a travel agency for kids. i would keep away from them.but research to be sure

  • @TheAwsomefool Its true that they're chosen at random, but to attend IS by invitation only, because at the meeting you'll need to provide a PIN number that they've assigned to you- not unless your bringing along a friend. But other than that the program is not a scam, however, there IS a catch (as with everything) to travel with them is quite pricey, and their not paying. So in a way it's a little stupid, but if you think about it, things like this don't happen everyday.

  • People to People = glorified travel agency for kids. I was invited to go to Australia in the 9th grade, but the price tag was around $5000. Judging from the descriptions of a People to People trip that I've heard since, I'm certain that you could achieve the same cultural experience on your own terms for a far lower cost.

  • They want me and my brother to go to Italy, Sicily, and Greece, but I can tell it's a scam because they put my last name as my mother's maiden name.

  • @FUGGNUTZ It isn't a scam. You just have to pay your own way to go on the trip and the trip is open to anybody. The only thing is it's very pricey! But they allow their student ambassadors to do a fundraiser to raise the money. You should do an exceptional amount of research before you throw away an opportunity like people to people

  • me also to japan :D

  • Yea thi isn't a scam I got invited

  • this isnt a scam. my interview is tomorrow wish me luck

  • I want to go to austrailia so badly.. And this is no scam. My friend went to china and France through ppl to ppl. He said it was an amazing expirience. You should deff go when you get the chance.

  • @blondberry2468 is ti free cuz they just sent me an invite

  • If you have traveled with people to people, can you please tell me If it's worth traveling with them??? Some say it's a scam and others say it's an awesome experience but I don't know who to believe and I really want to go because i got invited to go to Australia

  • @309valerie I went a few years ago and it was AWSOME. We got to do a bunch of special things that normal tourists can't see or do. For instance, we visited a Welsh school and watched their school preformance of Aladdin and we got to meet a member of British parliment.

    One thing though, don't go on ones that go through all of western europe. That's the one I went on and we only got to spend a few days in each country. You're going to Australia so you'd don't have to worry about that, but still

  • @309valerie me 2 i got invited today 2 australiado i go?

  • im going this summer to italy, france,and grece. im in eighth grade. i got accepted in 6th grade to washinton dc but didnt go

  • in 2008 i got invited to china for summer 2009 and i went to the informational meeting but unfortunatley i couldnt go cuz i t was to expensive. yesterday people to people sent me another one extending their offer to england, wales, ireland and scotland. im glad this oppertunity came again.

  • I got invited to the Cambridge Harvard University. This program RULEZ!!!!

  • @alkatraz17 isn't p2p real exspensive though?

  • @jovanb101 not if you get invited :)

  • @thesupergeekguy yeah i was intivted but it still costedaround $6,000

  • @jovanb101 Kind of, around 3k to 5k.

  • i just got an email from people to people yesterday omg inm goingt to europe too OMG

  • omg omg omg ive been invited to europe !

  • I went to Australia with people to people...awsome time!!! now I go to europe

  • i'm going t japan O_O is this for free? D:

  • @PapayaFreakX3 i dont think so i got 1 to italy freance and spain :P and im trully going there

  • Yeah, its arbitrary who gets the forms. There have been many cases of neglected participants. My family of 4 went to Greece for about 2 weeks and was about the same price as this program. Attorney Generals of several states have even accused this program of scams. Please, don't be fooled

  • this program is bullshit. its retarded and rips you off. look at the reviews of this disgusting program if you dont know what i mean.

  • If you are a member of the program then it may be legit but if you got a letter out of the blue, one that you were not expecting and you had to go online to look up People to People because you had not heard of them until you got the letter....then it's probably a scam.

  • @1089jesus you just made ZERO sense! Nobody expects to get a letter they just come. Your teachers dont tell you they nominate you. You find out when you get the letter. You sound dumb

  • Last semester my Avid teacher told the whole class most of the forms are FAKE!!!!! and that they shouldn't be asking for money,and that they should first arrange a meeting with your parents. Most of this forms are FAKE and JUST WANT'S YOUR MONEY

  • I got a form in the mail a couple weeks ago inviting me to Italy, France, and Greece (Greece, which I have already been to), did some research. Scam-A-Rooni!

  • @Friedwhippedcream did you even go on their website?! you sound so fuckin stupid when there r ppl commenting this video saying they have ACTUALLY went!! BYEEEEEEEEEE

  • plis somebody can tell me how much cost the travel

  • i got invited to japan...so i looked them up theyve sent mail to people whose kids died due to birth defects. And the chaparones dont care. A girl went and called for help but was denied and died

  • obvious scam is obvious

  • i got invited to Spain, France, and Italy.....but i don't have that type of money to send like that....=(

  • @FpNeon Take my spot, my mother is trying to force me to go.

  • @pieman97405 haha no thank u...=) but thax...u should go..it would be a lote of fun =)

  • I got japan and I love japan but I don't have any money

  • @gjuarez92 weeaboo

  • i got invited to england, scotland, ireland, and wales. i REALLY want to go. i wish my parents has money :/

  • @cakesterkinzz123 Same here imma go to the meeting 1st.

  • @cakesterkinzz123 Same here bro, but i'm already starting to save up from work.

  • @spartanxbfg i got invited there to jus yesterday im still lookin for tha price myself

  • i got invited to go to france italy & greece i was hella excited i mean im 16 in tacoma wa i would like to get outta here but after doin research im not sure alot of it told its a scam & about tha death of tyler hill so idk anymore

  • I got England, France, and Italy. What I don't understand is why they're sending random Freshman to other countries where I didn't even sign up for anything. Where are they getting my name from? Also, I'm wondering why going to all of those countries lasts only the summer (3 months) That doesn't seem like enough.

  • @HidingFromTheGall0ws 3 months? for me its 3 weeks...and a teacher has to recommend you. thats how they get your name.

  • @cakesterkinzz123 are you sure it's only a teacher? i didn't know it could only be a teacher.

  • I got invited to Italy, France, and Greece and yesterday I went to the information meeting. It costs 6,599 to go! Plus your parents have to pay or you will need to do fundraising to get the money. I was so excited , but that's ridiculous. I don't have that type of money and it's impossible to get that much money fundraising!

  • i just got a letter saying that im going to england, wales, and some other european countries......how much do they charge and how long is it?? It is fun and all?

  • @Runescapeddiction he man me too. i got the celtic something trip. england wales ireland and scotland

  • @Runescapeddiction I got invited to CHINA?!?!??!

  • @Runescapeddiction lol i got the exact same trip

  • @Runescapeddiction they invited me last year, and all i remember is that it was alot i think it was aroudn 4000 within short notice, i do want to do it, but they didnt giv eme enough time to get the money, my advise to u , since now u knw the program raise money for the next year. U CAN ALWAYS APPLY as long as u have the money.

  • I got an invitation in the mail to go to France, Italy, and Greece for summer 2011! I think it's awesome and I really would like to go, but I can't help being skeptical. I mean, they don't give info about the cost or why out of many I'm the one selected...also their site is a .com not a .org or .edu... hmmm.. and aren't most of the honorary chairmen not alive anymore? o___o

  • i really want to go.

    my invite said we are going to Australia in the summer of 2011. i just think its funny how they don't mention anything about costs on the invite or website. but i was looking at reviews and a lot of parents were disappointed :/

  • @bailzeyjodeets thats what i was saying , they have a reporting page for it too , saying that its a scam , and also how they lost this one lady daughter in the woods lols

  • @moneymaker49019, yeah cooool! I was thinking about signing up for THAT one so i could at least get more out of the whole trip by adding about $2,000 extra for 2 more countries but when I go to the meeting im gonna decide from there if im ACTUALLY gonna try to raise money. :)

  • Hellooo! I was just accepted yesterday to go on the People ot People 'Experience Europe' trip this July! If anyone has any comments or is also going on that trip (it's to England, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands) let me know! I'd like to meet some people who are going before the meeting this Sunday! :D

  • @fastandflexiblesk8er lucky ! i have the leadership one .

  • @TNNS415 hey i have the leadership one as well. Which country are u going and when?

  • omg I am supposed to go but HELLLPPPP!

    how did you pay for yours?

    I don't have the money..its like $7K

    how can i make money to go?

    I REALLY WANT TO GO!!!!

  • Iam going this summer. is it really all that fun.Iam a shy person, could this experience help me break my shell?

    What did you guys eat their?DId you bring your own food or ate local food?

  • @sailornaruto39 which country are u going?

  • @terces246 it was suppose to be euraope(germany london italy) my main concern is food and the cost(of the trip).

  • @sailornaruto39 Food is included in your tuition (which can be pricey like $5,500-$6400) but the tuition includes Airfare bothways (from the major airports), 3 meals a day, Bus fees, Room+Board (usually very nice hotels), and the cost of anything you do while on your trip. Things you'd have to spend your own money on (not in tuition) are things like souvenirs and snacks

  • @Sleepydrone oh that's nice :)

    but my mom is wrecked with debt and i really don't wanna be a further burden

  • i went on 2 of these trips (european exploration and australian discovery) best experiences of my life hand down.

  • @donmitchito ok im kinda nervous to go on this trip...any tips?

  • @terces246 Have fun instead of the group leader being the leader the group is the leader!

  • Yes you have to pay for the trip. most (like 3/4 of the offered programs) are $6,400 but the range is about $5,400-$8000 (but the trip is about 2 weeks or more)

    Meetings mentioned in the letters are just informational meetings where you find out about the program (where your local group is going, how much it costs) although the tuition is steep keep in mind that it covers transportation( including airfare), hotels (usually VERY nice hotels), and 3 meals a day, and whatever fun stuff you do!

  • Have you been on a People to People trip? Was it fun? Where'd you go?

    Sorry for all the questions-I just got accepted and I'm really excited! :)

  • @fastandflexiblesk8er

    Yes, I've been on a People to People trip. My program was Land of the Rising Sun (Japan for two weeks) and it was LOTS of fun. They took us all over the place (Kyoto, Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Hiroshima...) and the questions are understandable since its an amazing opportunity. If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer (if they aren't answered at your meeting) just PM me :D

  • @Sleepydrone im going on the land of the rising sun this year and im extemely excited and how was ur experience on it?

  • Thanks! :)))

  • @Sleepydrone

    i have a question. i heard about people to people from a friend of mine and wants to go but how do u start it. it sounds like you have to get a invitation 1st. but where do u get the invitation from? thx.

  • @squeen1009

    It starts by an invitation fo an informational meeting (what People to People is what the local delegation is doing, costs etc. From what I've seen you can get an invitation in mupltiple ways, the ways that I do know of are nominations by a P2P alumni, Teacher or by signing up for things like the SAT or ACT (Not 100% sure on the last one)

  • I got a letter that said I was invited this summer to go and study in China.sounds great but where are the meetings and also how much dose it coast?plz help

  • oh......:D

  • Germany is missing!

  • so its free right or do u have to pay 4 the whole thing or copay 4 some stuff
