An Unforgettable Journey Through Europe with Amazing Memories

July 11, 2026by: Jermicah OB - American Samoa

Program: TFT Older Teens: Florence, Cinque Terre, Switzerland & Paris

5

As someone who travels full-time and enjoys blogging about new experiences, this trip was one of the most memorable journeys I've had. Visiting Florence, Cinque Terre, Switzerland, and Paris gave me the opportunity to experience different cultures, beautiful landscapes, and incredible history in a single adventure. Florence impressed me with its stunning architecture and rich artistic heritage, while Cinque Terre offered colorful coastal villages and breathtaking sea views that were perfect for photography and relaxing walks. During the trip, I captured many memorable moments and later shared some of my travel experiences alongside my gaming and technology articles on my website, 33RS Game (33rsgame.net). Traveling inspires much of my writing, and exploring new places always gives me fresh ideas for creating engaging content. Switzerland was everything I hoped for, with its breathtaking mountain scenery, crystal-clear lakes, and efficient transportation making every day enjoyable. Paris was the perfect destination to end the journey, offering iconic landmarks, charming cafés, beautiful architecture, and an unforgettable atmosphere. The itinerary was well organized, giving us enough time to explore each destination without feeling rushed. I also met wonderful people throughout the journey, making the experience even more enjoyable and meaningful. I would happily recommend this tour to anyone who loves travel, discovering new cultures, and creating unforgettable memories. Whether you're visiting Europe for the first time or returning to experience more, this journey offers an excellent combination of history, nature, culture, and adventure that you'll remember for years to come.

It was an amazing trip

My trip to Italy was truly an extraordinary vacation and I highly recommend! We went from city to city, trying different foods, and many fun experiences like a private cooking lesson and visiting the Coliseum. I had so much fun that I've decided to go on a second trip with Travel for Teens this summer.

We had a great day at the Coliseum

Tanzania Service and Safari

Tanzania Service and SafariMy trip to Tanzania with Travel for Teens was incredible from start to finish. It was one of those experiences that actually stays with you long after you’re home. The entire program was extremely well run, and I always felt supported, safe, and excited for whatever came next. The service part of the trip was genuinely meaningful, and it felt good to know we were contributing in a positive way. Even more than that, the leaders created an environment where everyone connected easily, and the group became really close. The energy was always positive, and every day felt like a mix of purpose and fun. The safari portion was honestly unforgettable. The places we visited, the views, and the wildlife were on a whole different level. Overall, the trip was exciting, inspiring, and way beyond what I expected. I’d recommend the Tanzania Service & Safari program to anyone looking for an amazing, eye opening adventure with great people and a super supportive staff.

Travel For teens was an astonishing program that was a joy to be on. The counselors that take you on the trip help make it even better than it is attending to everyone’s wants and needs making the program even more enjoyable. On top of that, you get to experience the diverse culture in a new place with new people. Overall, I look forward to this program each and every year as it’s such an amazing way to be able to experience the world.

Best Trip Ever!

December 04, 2025by: Lucas Ford - United States

Program: Travel For Teens: Thailand Elephant Service and the Islands

5

My Adventure Tour to Thailand was filled with some of the richest and best memories I will ever make. I got to meet so many amazing people, both locals and friends I made on the tour. When I try and decide a favorite part, it's always impossible. From the time at the school, volunteer work with the elephants, visiting the temples, exploration of the islands, and so much more, each time a moment of the trip pops into my head, it brings a smile to my face. TFT staff did an exceptional job organizing the itinerary and engaging with the students, helping to create a fulfilling trip that will no doubt stay with me forever.

I had an incredibly enriching experience

November 30, 2025by: Lily Shor - United States

Program: TFT: Greece and Italy - Island Service and Italian Adventure

5

I absolutely loved this trip!! I got to make a real impact through hands-on community projects, all while exploring some of the most beautiful places in the world. For example, the clear blue waters and quiet villages of the Greek islands were absolutely unforgettable. What made it stand out was how immersive everything felt. Throughout the trip we really were learning, connecting, and contributing. The trip leaders were supportive, the group became like a family, and every day felt purposeful and exciting. It was the kind of experience that broadened my perspective, pushed me to grow, and left me with memories (and friendships) I know will last.

Wonderful and Unforgettable Trip

Program: Travel For Teens: South Korea Discovery and Service

5

This trip to South Korea was my first time traveling without my parents, my best friend and I signed up together after my freshman year of high school. I felt so safe and comfortable on this trip, my trip leaders were so much fun and everyone got along great. The worst part of the trip was when it ended! The itinerary was well-balanced, the food was delicious, and the company was wonderful! I highly recommend Travel For Teens.

Greece Adventure

November 27, 2025by: Bella Engilman - United States

Program: TFT for Older Teens: Greece Island Hopping

5

I had an amazing time on my trip to Greece! I had the opportunity to explore several cities in Greece, including Paros, Athens, Santorini, and more. Everything went smoothly, and I got to see lots of new places with new people. At first, I was so nervous to go out of the country with no adult, just my twin sister and me, but it was the best experience of my life. The people I got to meet were amazing, and the boat day specifically was one of my favorite memories since I got to explore so many different islands and snorkel. I learned a lot, tried new things, and made experiences I’ll never forget. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for adventure and good people!

I had the most amazing time.

Greece was an amazing trip because of Travels for Teen. It allowed me to meet new people from all over the world. This program provided me with great experiences, such as scuba diving, visiting historic monuments, and getting gelato after a long day out. It allowed me to get to know everyone in a way that I would have never experienced otherwise. I loved how we all bonded as a group with are counselors. Overall, my experience was what it was because of the amazing program the Travel for Teens offers.

Very Enjoyable Summer Tour

Program: Travel For Teens: London and Paris

I had a very nice time on my teen tour to London and Paris. I met lots of different high schoolers from across the country, and had a good time getting to know them. Food was alright. Visited interesting places, both tourist-y and not as much, but my favorite part was spending time with my fellow travelers. The counsellors were also very friendly and helpful. We went biking, tried hot chocolate, explored gardens, enjoyed the pier of Brighton, and more. Overall an enjoyable experience.

My summer at TFT was a dope experience 💯. The counselors and the other teens were super chill and made a whole new country feel like a home away from home. The program had the perfect balance of new cultural experiences, group activities, and community service. Every day was something new! Swimming with elephants, going to thai markets, hiking on a beautiful mountain, or learning how to cook noodles in bamboo shoots! We worked to make a big impact and long-lasting difference for the kids we helped and the schools we worked to renew. Where we worked to make a difference, we also made connections along the way. We connected with the Thai language, the food, the people, the wildlife, and each other. The experience goes hard🔥10/10! Recommend!!! <3

Thailand Service and Adventure: Experience of a lifetime

The best 10 days of my life

November 22, 2025by: Paige Post - United States

Program: Travel For Teens: Costa Rica Adventure and Service

5

This trip was the greatest experience of my life. Obviously getting on a plane and going to a far away place with a bunch of strangers is a bit intimidating, but I am so thankful and happy I took a leap out of my comfort zone to experience this. The connections I made with the people on the trip, and not to mention the amazing activities and service projects I got to participate in. I would recommend this to everyone thinking of taking a trip!

Loved this trip so much I took it twice!

November 22, 2025by: Addison Hidlay - United States

Program: TFT: Hawaii Sea Trurtle Service and Adventure

5

I first took this trip in the summer of 2023. It was my first teen tour and I didn't know what to expect. TFT was an amazing company to travel with and the counselors, especially Gabi, were so great at making us all comfortable. We snorkeled at Molokini Crater, helped sea turtles - my favorite part - hiked Diamondhead and did a sunrise hike of Haleakala. We visited Lanai 8 days before the fires and I'm so thankful to have seen the beautiful town. My second trip to Hawaii with TFT was summer of 2025. We visited Kihei this time and it was a nice change of scenery. Oahu was my favorite, especially the shopping and the authentic luau. I'd highly recommend this trip!

Best adventures ever!

November 22, 2025by: Rebecca Melito - United States

Program: Travel For Teens: Croatia Island Hopping

5

Although I did not know any other teens prior to the trip, I made life long best friends in the span of just two weeks. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. While some days were filled with hiking, exploring, and immersing, other days were filled with relaxing, swimming, and hanging out with my new friends. I have been on three TFT trips and this one was by far the coolest as we were able to live for a boat for eight days. Unreal. I hope everyone can experience this trip sometime in their life. Totally recommend!!

How a Photography Workshop in Italy Changed Me

November 22, 2025by: Holly Shilale - United States

Program: Travel For Teens: Italy Travel Photography Workshop

5

My teen travel photography program in Italy was one of the most transformative experiences I've ever had. I arrived not knowing anyone and unsure of what to do expect, but I left with new friends, new skills, and a new sense of confidence in myself and my creative abilities. Each day offered something different and unforgettable, from wandering through the narrow Florence streets with our cameras, learning how to tell a story through a single image, and challenging myself to photograph people, moments, and places that pushed me outside my comfort zone. I learned quickly that photography is not just about taking a pretty picture but about paying attention to being present and finding connection wherever you are. What surprised me most was how the trip helped me grow personally. Being far from home encourages me to step up, be independent, and say "yes" to things I might normally hesitate to try. By the end of the workshop, I felt braver, more open-minded, and more grounded in my own creativity. The counselors created a supportive environment where trying new things felt exciting instead of scary, and the group truly became a small community of its own. This program didn't just teach me how to take better photos, but it helped me see the world, myself, with a more curious and confident perspective. I'm incredibly grateful for the experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for adventure, artistic growth, and meaningful connection.

Greece and Italy Adventure

Program: TFT for Older Teens: Greece and Italy

Going on Travel for Teens' Greece and Italy adventure was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. I got to travel to incredible places like Capri, Amalfi Coast, Rome, Athens, and Lefkada. As someone who hadn't ever been out of the country by myself, Travel for Teens allowed me to feel safe and confident about being in a country with people I had never met before. It was super easy to make friends, to feel safe with my councillors, and to have fun. I always look back on that trip as transformative (for myself), and the highlight of my summer. I think travel for teens did a great job with the itinerary, and also picking councillors that were very good connecting with the students. Overall, I had a great time being apart of Travel for Teens' program.
