South Korea review
August 01, 2025by: Ray Kearney - United StatesProgram: South Korea: Seoul Searching with Rustic PathwaysI really enjoyed the service—teaching English to students and everything that came with it! I loved connecting with locals and learning about their culture. Huge shout out to Chang-Mo, Heeju, Yuri, Annabel, and Amy—they were amazing group leaders and made the whole experience even better!!!!!!!!
Hi Ray! Thanks so much for your kind words about our program and your leaders. They're pretty great! And the trip wouldn't have been the same without you. Thanks so much for exploring Korea with us. See you next summer?
I had the best time ever!
July 24, 2025by: Victoria Kearney - United StatesProgram: South Korea: Seoul Searching with Rustic PathwaysInitially, I was scared to go on this trip. Even once we got there I was still nervous. As soon as I met the group leaders and one of the students, I felt right at home. Everyone was so nice, and I genuinely had the best time ever. I loved being immersed in the Korean culture.
Hey Victoria! Traveling abroad to a new country is always a little nerve-wracking, even for adults. But we're proud you took that huge step and decided to travel despite being a little scared! We're thrilled you had a great time. We bet now you feel like you can take on anything, right? We hope to see you again next summer on a new adventure!
Best time ever!
July 24, 2025by: Marlo Corddry - United StatesProgram: South Korea: Seoul Searching with Rustic PathwaysOn my Korea trip, I met some really cool people, had life changing experiences and made so many new connections. I really bonded with everyone on the trip and the group leaders were so amazing. 10/10 would go on another trip!!
Hey Marlo! We're so happy to hear you had a great time in Korea and that you made genuine connections and memories. It's what travel with us is all about! We hope to see you on another summer adventure next year!
