Best first time abroad
August 03, 2024by: Enya GallagherI had a great time in Thailand; at first, I was nervous being away from home for the first time, but I'm so glad I went! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to work directly with elephants in real life medical situations, and I gained so much experience working with and on small animals (as well as exotics) that I could never get from the classroom.
Too amazing to explain
August 03, 2024by: Xanthe HansenThe Loop Abroad program was a great experience! You can't explain how amazing it was! It had everything I could ever want! You just need to go and try it out for yourself! You won't regret it in the slightest!

I love the adventure and the team
July 12, 2024by: Margaret Starr - United StatesProgram: Thailand Adventures and Service with Rustic Pathways
I loved the staff at all of the places including our main counselors. I had a great time on the excursions. I wish there was more cultural immersion such as more time and more temples and learning, and socially speaking it wasn’t the best with my peers. But everything else was amazing
Hi Margaret! Thank you so much for your feedback and for focusing on the many positive aspects of your trip. We’re so glad you had an amazing time in Thailand! Hopefully we'll see you next summer too!
I made new friends and new memories that will last a lifetime.
