I cannot wait until I can go on another GIVE trip
by: Jacqueline Mirabella - United StatesProgram: GIVE: Thailand Reforestation and Wildlife ConservationI adored my trip to Thailand in the winter of 24-25. The volunteers that I went with were some of the most hilarious, intelligent, and kindhearted people ever, who I will never forget and most definitely stay friends with for a long time. The guides were equally amazing and I will miss them for as long as it takes for me to make it back to Thailand someday! I was able to learn so much about myself, Thai culture, and the Thai natives on my trip that I will never forget. I had so many once-in-a-lifetime experiences on this trip including getting to spend a day with an elephant and getting to feed it, going bungee jumping, and having access to small close-knit communities in northern Thailand that I otherwise may never have gotten the chance to go to without the amazing local guides. More importantly, however, I got to form close relationships with the kids that we taught and get real experience in the classroom while learning how much of a relationship you can build with someone without necessarily even speaking the same language. It was challenging and exciting and I desperately wish I could go back and see those kids again now that I’m home. GIVE taught me a lot about sustainable tourism and the importance of behaving as a respectful guest in a foreign country. Rather than walk all over someone else’s culture and take advantage of it, GIVE taught me the importance of learning the culture and respecting it through dressing culturally appropriately, attempting to learn some of the language and customs, and entering the country with an open mind and a non-judgemental attitude. I am counting down the seconds until I can be fortunate enough to go on another GIVE trip!
GIVE Thailand July 2024
by: Collin King - United StatesProgram: GIVE: Thailand Reforestation and Wildlife ConservationMy trip in Thailand was truly life-changing. From the people I met, the friends I made, the experiences I had, it was all so incredible. Those 2 weeks gave me a lifetime of memories and I learned more about myself than I ever have before. This trip taught me so much about the world and changed my outlook on so many things. I would do it all over again if I could.

Thailand Scuba
by: Saleta Powell - United StatesProgram: GIVE: Thailand Reforestation and Wildlife ConservationDiving in Thailand was an incredible experience! The marine life is vibrant, and the dive sites are absolutely stunning. I took the PADI Underwater Photography course, which was a highlight of the trip. It was amazing to learn how to capture the beauty of the underwater world, and the instructors were knowledgeable and patient. Whether you’re an experienced diver or just starting out, this experience is perfect for anyone looking to combine adventure with learning new skills. Highly recommend it!

Thank you for joining us this summer in Thailand, Saleta! The underwater experience is unlike any other, especially when you're traveling responsibly! We hope to see you back again!! Good vibes! :)
