Travel For Teens

This trip was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. It was my first TFT program, and I could have not picked a better one. One of my favorite parts was how much of Costa Rica we got to see. We did not just stay in one area and we got to experience different parts of the country. Every single day we had something excited to look forward to, whether it was going on boat rides, swimming, jumping off waterfalls, or tubbing down a river. The trip definitely lived up to the name, but what I loved most was that I could choose when I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone and when I wanted to relax. There was such a good balance between exciting activities and free time. I ended up doing almost all of the activities, and I am so glad I did because looking back, those are some of my favorite memories from the trip. We also had plenty of time to hang out and bond with everyone, which I think is such an important part of the program because you spend so much time with the people you meet. As a picky eater, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the food situation was. We got to look at the menus and choose what we wanted, so it was never an issue. I made so many amazing memories, and I would recommend this program to anyone looking for an unforgettable summer experience!!

In rome me and my roomates had so much fun! We all hung out in eachothers room and talked about ourselves. It was exteremly helpful while meeting new people. I really enjoyed shopping in rome as well and getting to explore all over. There was a lot of indepence and I really enjoyed that part of the trip.

I had the most amazing time on the Hawaii Sea Turtle trip!! I met my best friends and went on so many exhilarating adventures. I ate the best food and learned so much about the culture and the sea life!

My Costa Rica Surf and Service trip with Travel for Teens was an unforgettable experience! Throughout the trip, we had the opportunity to give back to the local community by volunteering at a school, planting, and participating in a beach cleanup. We also got to experience so many amazing adventures, including ziplining, hiking, and surfing. One of my favorite parts was how much I improved at surfing throughout the trip. It was so rewarding to see my progress and gain confidence in the water! On top of everything, we tried so much delicious local food and got to experience Costa Rica's culture in such a fun and meaningful way. This trip made me fall in love with traveling with Travel for Teens, and I am already signed up for a Greece and Italy Service trip that I am so excited for! I can't wait to explore new places, meet new people, give back to different communities, and make even more unforgettable memories. My Costa Rica trip was such an incredible experience, and I would recommend Travel for Teens to anyone looking for an adventure that combines service, culture, and fun!

This past summer I went on Travel for Teen’s London, Paris, French Riviera, and Barcelona trip! I went with around 14 other teens who were all super nice!! On this trip we participated in fun activities like a bike tour of Paris, the beach, shopping, climbing the Eiffel Tower, visiting a perfume factory and more. We also had some freedom to choose what we would like to do and had free time on our own within safe perimeters. The locations we ate at had a variety of food options and we also visited different restaurants that offered a variety of cuisines like Indian and traditional English food! It was so much fun!

The Croatia island hopping trip for travel for teens was incredible! I loved spending a week living on the boat. Not only did it bring everyone to get supper close it also allowed us to go to so many different islands. It was amazing to have slow morons on the boat but in the afternoon or evening being able to explore a new town I learned so much.

This trip was such a good experience! Everyday we would have a group activity and we would also get free time which was nice because we got to explore around each city. All of the accommodations were really nice and clean. The meals were very flexible and the restaurants were nice and had some good variety. Overall I’d say this trip was amazing and if you’re considering going you should!

The summer of 2026 was my first time adventuring abroad through Travel For Teens. I really enjoyed my counselor’s enthusiasm upon arrival. Meeting new people my age from different parts of the world is always so awkward or silent at first, but getting to know them as the days go by makes me realize how fun it is to get to know others. My Greece and Italy trip was so fun. I played Mamma Mia music because I was in Greece and everybody joined in which is so cool. I got to see so much history, and the views were incredible. I really enjoyed my time and that’s why I’ll be going to another country using Travel For Teens!

From when I first started the trip everyone was so helpful I got off and on flights easily and we made it to maui from then on the community was great the staff and friends I made along the way I have to say In my group of people we never got into fights and we did all the excursions together no matter the groups even if one of my closets friends were in them and when I had trouble with my roomate in california the counslers were so nice and they helped me get my own room and fixed my problemes resulting in one of the best trips of my life

I had a life changing trip. I met so many friends that I am still friends with now two years later. I learned so much about the countries I went to and how to navigate internal travel in Europe. Seeing different cities and cultures broaden my horizons of the world and what I want to do in life.

I had the time of my life and made so many new connections and friendships that I will cherish for life!! The volunteer opportunities were incredible! It was so cool being able to help out the local community and get to learn more about the way of living there.

not only did go to Greece last summer for the first time, but i traveled alone for the first time too!! not only did TFT allow me to have a comfortable fun experience, but they also made opportunities for me to make some of the best friends ive ever had, to enjoy cultural experiences i would've otherwise never experienced, as well as feel safe and welcomed enough to be brave enough to experience the country to its fullest!

TFT is an amazing way to meet new people and get outside your comfort zone! You get to explore a country or multiple countries of tour choice with completely random people who will turn into great friends! TFT offers dance classes, cooking lessons, food tastings, boat rides, scuba diving, kayakimg and so much more!

I was on the Italy, Switzerland, and France TFT trip the summer before my junior year, and it was the best experience. It was such a good blend of destinations, from Italian beaches, Swiss Mountains, and city life in Paris. The trip was filled with fun excursions such as paragliding, canyoning, and hiking, but also gave kids enough down time to be able to walk around towns or relax on the beach. As someone who is adventurous and has always loved to explore, this trip was perfect as TFT made time for exploring the local culture and daily life of the places we visited. Seeing the leather market in Firenze and eating local Parisian food was so much fun and also allowed me time to talk to locals about their home country. The staff of TFT were incredible and they always made sure everyone was happy with the trip through consistent check-ins, asking if there was anything else we needed or wanted to do to make our trip even better. If you have a kid who is adventurous and wants experience being more independent before college, I highly recommend TFT trips.

When going into a trip abroad, young and without your family, this trip truly strengthens you through the trust you can have in your counselor. I will forever cherish this trip for the strength it gave me. I have made many of my best friends through these trips.

I have done other teen tours but nothing compared to Travel for Teens. Starting with both of my chaperones (Noah and Claudia), they were genuinely amazing, the sweetest, coolest, and “older sibling” energy. Then, the places we went: My favorite was Switzerland so beautiful and between canyoning and paragliding COULD NOT have asked for anything better. Italy was beautiful and Paris was so much fun. All of the other students on my trip were great, after a couple hours together we all clicked. I came into the trip on my own and left with 15 new friends. I know my parents really appreciated the daily updates from my trip leaders and the pictures they would send. I felt super safe and comfortable the entire time. I would 110% recommend going on a trip with TFT!

This trip was honestly so fun. I went with my friend, but I went alone the year before to Greece and Italy and had no problem making friends. I’d say it’s important to remember to be open to meeting new people of you’re thinking of going with a friend. I had the best time ever! Our counselor was the sweetest, and the itinerary is great. Easy to feel supported in the environment, and we even went to a spooky exhibition that wasn’t on the itinerary! Totally recommend
