It's been a life-changing experience that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to discover different cultures and put themselves in discussion from a different perspective on life. It's been 2 weeks rollercoaster that I will never forget.

I was lucky enough to spend two weeks teaching English in Vietnam, and what an incredible experience it was. The weather was certainly scorching and took a little getting used to, but the whole trip was truly unforgettable. We had the opportunity to teach children from toddler age right through to university students, which was both rewarding and, at times, a little outside my comfort zone. That said, I absolutely loved it. I feel I gained so much from the experience, and I hope the students did too. Being part of a group of 29 worked really well, with a great balance of teaching, lesson preparation, sightseeing and social time. The team, the food, the local people and the whole experience were fantastic. Outside of the classroom, we had the chance to explore Vietnamese culture properly — making our own lanterns, cooking traditional Vietnamese food, learning how to make Vietnamese drip coffee, climbing Marble Mountain and meeting some brilliant locals along the way. It was a fantastic opportunity, full of learning, laughter and new experiences. I would 100% recommend it to anyone who gets the chance.

Participating in this teaching program was an absolutely incredible experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me embrace my independence. The hands-on teaching was incredibly rewarding and really built my confidence in leading activities. Beyond the classroom, I loved every part of the Vietnamese culture. We had amazing cultural immersion, from the first group day at the beach to the traditional cooking classes. My favorite part was having daily chats with our wonderful Vietnamese hosts, which made me feel deeply connected to the local community. The staff on the ground, especially Aaron and Hayley, were exceptional. They managed the group with a kind, supportive approach that was truly inspiring. Whenever anyone had an issue, they were extremely helpful and resolved it quickly to keep everyone safe and happy. I completely fell in love with Vietnam, and I am definitely coming back!
