About this trip

New Year, Old Friends, New Zealand!

Pack your bags and your sense of adventure—we’re heading to Queenstown, New Zealand (South Island) to ring in the New Year, alumni style! Over 6 nights, reconnect with old friends, make new memories, explore breathtaking landscapes during that side of the world's summer, enjoy great food and wine, and celebrate together as we say goodbye to the old year and hello to the next.

From unforgettable adventures to late-night laughs and a Kiwi-style countdown, this is more than a vacation—it’s a chance to reconnect, reminisce, and start the New Year with an incredible group of alumni.

Adventure Awaits

Reconnect. Relax. Reignite.

Not many alumni communities share the experience of spending a summer selling door to door. The long days, the countless “no’s,” the lessons learned, and the growth that came with it created a connection that lasts long after the summer ends.

That’s what makes traveling together different. You’re not showing up with a group of strangers—you’re reconnecting with people who understand the experience, share the stories, and know what it meant to be part of something unique.

On these trips, you’re not starting from scratch. You’re simply picking up where you left off.
