Nick Drapeau · Founder of Next Level English
Nick grew up in New Jersey and will lead this tour for the third time in 2027. His approach brings together a carefully planned route, spontaneous discoveries and the daily life of a small, supportive group.
The NLE team accompanies the group from departure until the return to Kazakhstan, helping participants feel supported as they try new things.

US consular authorities decide on visas; approval is not guaranteed. Check current government fees through the official visa service.
Parents may join all or part of the trip. Staying with the group depends on space; the team can help explore nearby accommodation. A parent’s price is calculated individually, while the child’s usual terms apply. An adult without a visa needs a separate consultation.
This is a working itinerary. Timing, accommodation, activities and their order may change because of weather, transport, access or the group’s needs. Campus visits are excursions or introductions with the NLE team, subject to access; official university-led tours are not guaranteed. The tour leader makes operational decisions for the group’s safety and interests.
