The program was extremely rewarding. Loved seeing the interaction between members of the crew, the commitment of the entire Armenian crew to the TFC/TCT and the cultural exposure. Could never had an experience close to this travelling independently.

The cultural exchange moments: singing and dancing, becoming part of the TCT family :)

It was above my expectations! Very good working, and camping conditions, and also a great team with a great atmosphere. Good vibes :) The cultural exchange moments: singing and dancing, becoming part of the TCT family :)

Being out in nature, contributing to something meaningful – and meeting new friends.

The sense of community I experienced, with both Armenian and international volunteers, definitely exceeded my expectations. I felt being part of something really important. I expected a bit more diverse trail work. However I understand that this is not possible all the time.
