Ciao Italy!

This past summer, at fourteen years old, I had the opportunity to travel to Italy with 13 other strangers. In any case, this sounds a bit odd, but I can honestly say now, that this trip was life changing. Every day felt like a new adventure. Our trip leader Hunt kept us in a bit of mystery the whole time, which in hindsight, was the best way to conduct the trip. On our travels, I saw the most once-in-a-lifetime places, including the Vatican, the Colosseum, David’s Statue, and my favorite, the Tuscan town, Montalcino. The views were breathtaking. We did things like riding in a gondola in Venice, and wine tasting in Montalcino, to even swimming in the salty Mediterranean Sea at Cinque Terre. On our own, we even found some secret passage ways to squeeze through and explore little hidden-gem neighborhoods. I took lots of interesting photos. But most importantly, along the way to these amazing places, I met the most amazing friends. We danced in our hotel rooms, and ate breakfast together every morning. There was never a dull moment. I feel like I came back from this trip with a whole different mindset. I was visibly a more energetic and bubbly person. The world seemed a little bit brighter. My counselors had the most positive outlook that I now aspire to possess. Travel For Teens is my gateway to seeing the world, and this trip was well beyond worth it. -Evelina Ogrodniczuk Stroudsburg Pennsylvania Ciao Italy for Younger Teens

I had such an amazing experience with TFT and would totally recommend to anyone. I made such good friends and my service project was so rewarding. Looking forward to when i’m a little older to apply to be a CIT :)

I went on the Ciao Italy Travel for Teens trip. This trip was amazing! The people and the leaders were so nice and helpful. The restaurants we went to were amazing especially the pizza by the Vatican and the two paces we stayed were nice and close to the activities. This trip was organized and so much fun! I highly recommend this trip and this organization!

I was inspired to go abroad by the food and the chance to experience new things. I really wanted to try new food. I love trying new foods wherever I go and going abroad is a great way to try different and authentic food. Also, traveling abroad gives you the chance to experience things and see things you never would imagine. I was amazed by some of the places we saw, like the Duomo and the Vatican. If you have the chance to travel abroad, take it!

Both of my parents are from Europe, so I’ve always had a desire to see Europe, but no one my age to go with.
