Trip was a joy
July 26, 2025by: Aliya DotsonProgram: Texas Zoo Management
This trip was such a joy. The knowledge that is given and then supported with the zoo made everything better. It made me feel comfortable working with the animals like I never thought I was possible. Thank you, Loop Abroad!
Finding my way in the vet world
July 19, 2025by: Dylan CochranProgram: Texas Zoo Management
Loop Abroad gave me an opportunity in life, a chance in the vet world and a chance to meet great friends. Even though I won't see them anymore, I'm glad I met them and got a chance to meet new friends and find my way in the vet world
Can't wait for the next opportunity.

This program was a special experience to me in many ways. I got to experience what it's like to be independent from my caretakers, and got to better understand the career I'm moving towards. I got to interact with both people and animals I like, and was treated just like any other adult. I learned so much from this experience, and I can't wait for the next opportunity to pop up.
