Incredible Experience
January 18, 2024by: Rachel C - United KingdomProgram: Conservation ExplorerI had the most incredible experience interning in Bangkok, Thailand. They placed me in a host family that was so kind and the Thai advisor was always there for me when I need anything during my stay. I learned so much about Thai culture and Buddhism and had a great internship that taught neme a lot about the medical field. I would highly recommend to anyone who is ready for an adventure.
Life-Changing
January 18, 2024by: Maria P - United StatesProgram: Conservation ExplorerI have always wanted to combine volunteering, travelling and discovering and discovering new cultures this summer. I went volunteering for 3 weeks in Thailand and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I had the possibility to work in a school helping the kids improve their English and living with local people their which was amazing and so involving because I could get to know Thai people's lifestyle and habits in depth which is impossible as a normal tourist. All the staff is very kind and helpful and they were very fast answering at any questions I had. I strongly recommend it for everyone who is interested in a life changing experience!
