An inspiring transformation
July 03, 2023by: Emma PennProgram: Thailand Elephant Research WeekBurm and Emily's Elephant Sanctuary offered me a new perspective to elephant behavior and enrichment. I was exposed to knowledge about the elephants' experiences prior to rescue and then exposed to their behavior after. The transformation was inspiring.
You will learn and experience so many amazing things.

Elephants in Thailand
October 25, 2022by: Aria Foster - United StatesProgram: Thailand Elephant Research WeekI spent a total of three weeks in Thailand with Loop Abroad. This organization is absolutely phenomenal. I learned so much about elephant care and welfare than I ever could have here in America. The friends that I have made are lifelong. I truly appreciate having such an amazing experience with loop abroad and recommend them to anyone looking to travel abroad and work with animals :)
