I had the best time ever
December 14, 2023by: Spencer Wardle - CanadaThis summer I went to Kenya with projects abroad. I spent two weeks volunteering with giraffes and doing conservation work. My time was absolutely amazing and I met so many new friends. I had such a good time I am already planning my next volunteer trip to Peru with them next year.
Thanks for leaving us a review, Spencer. It's great to read that you had an absolutely amazing time, and plan on travelling with us again next year. Please don't forget that you are now eligible for alumni discount off the total cost of your next adventure! Thanks for choosing Projects Abroad.
