South Korea is the undiscovered gem of the Far East, with food, K-culture, and mountainous scenery that you will never forget! Our discovery trip begins in Seoul, where we explore regal palaces and bustling downtown neighborhoods, and have fun at the theater. Then, we tour Korea’s modern port city of Busan, visit the ancient capital city of Gyeongju, and explore the rural beauty of South Jeolla Province. Our final destination is Jeju Island, recently listed as one of the new Seven Natural Wonders of the World. After a couple of days exploring this island paradise, we will go back to Seoul to K-party it up with some K-pop hologram shows and a meal at the N-Seoul Tower. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain community service hours assisting a Buddhist temple with their farming projects...

Great travels with TC
by: Alexander Iglesias - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: South Korea Discovery and ServiceI've been traveling with TFT since I was 13, and it has been one of the best learning and growth experiences in my life. Through TFT, I've met great friends from all around the world, experienced amazing places, and was pushed out of my comfort zone and grew so much. It even helped me pick my career. In the summer of my 11th year of high school, I went on the Japan Discovery & Service trip. I had recently picked up an interest in digital photography and it just so happened that the Trip director for my trip was a professional Travel Photographer. After traveling with him for only 2 weeks and seeing my photographic growth, I started taking courses in photography at my school and have ended up going to college for Fine Art Photography. Without the experiences TFT allowed me to have, I never would have found one of my biggest passions. The people I've met on the trips are good friends of mine to this day, and the experiences I had with them on the trips I've been on were unforgettable. Karaoke in South Korea with a crew of wacky friends, doing a two hour hike up one of the steepest mountains I've ever seen to take one picture, and other once in a life time experiences like that have made the TFT experience so special to me.
Sarang Hanguk!
by: Jaelyn Silk - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: South Korea Discovery and ServiceThis trip was truly amazing in so many ways. This was my first trip outside the US; not only is Korea amazing in itself, but the staff are very fun, helpful, and knowledgeable. When I went, the group only had 11 travelers, so we all got to know each other really well. It felt like one big family, adventuring across the beaches, snacking on new flavors (be it spicy, fruity, stinky, or sweet--my favorites), shopping along the streets, and drinking in the Korean culture. Warning: it's hot and humid in the summer, but it's really worth it. It was a completely unique and diverse experience that has everything from historic temples to modern cities to rocky sea views to relaxing spas. I had so much fun and really felt immersed! Thanks Kylie and Simon!
