Partnership with ExConnect

Students On Tour NZ has a proud partnership with ExConnect— the ultimate app designed to help exchange students and young travellers connect before they even board the plane.

Through ExConnect, students can meet others travelling to the same destination, join group chats, access interactive travel checklists, and connect with verified organisations all in one place.
