Blair’s Amazing Thailand Adventure!
July 10, 2025by: Blair Calihan - United StatesProgram: Thailand Adventures and Service with Rustic PathwaysI went on the Rustic Pathways Thailand Adventurer trip, and it was the best experiences of my life. The leaders were absolutely fantastic and always there whenever you need them. The company itself was very well ran and organized. The people were all super nice making my time even more enjoyable! All the activities were super fun and I loved my time traveling, exploring, and immersing myself into the Thailand culture!
