A Life-Changing Adventure: My 21 Days with TFT in Costa Rica
November 12, 2025by: Cassie Forestal - United StatesProgram: TFT Costa Rica: Spanish Language Immersion & Service 21 DaysThe TFT Costa Rica: Spanish Language Immersion & Service program is an incredible three-week experience that combines learning, service, and adventure. The daily Spanish classes are interactive and fun, helping everyone improve their language skills quickly. The teachers are patient and encouraging, and we had many chances to practice speaking Spanish in real-life situations with locals. One of the best parts of the program was the community service projects. We worked together on meaningful activities that helped local communities, which made the experience feel rewarding and purposeful. Between classes and service, we also got to explore Costa Rica’s beautiful landscapes—rainforests, beaches, and volcanoes. Instead of homestays, we stayed in comfortable hotels throughout the trip, which made it easy to relax after busy days. The accommodations were clean, safe, and well-organized. The group leaders were friendly and supportive, always making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Overall, this 21-day program was an unforgettable adventure. It improved my Spanish, taught me about Costa Rican culture, and allowed me to make great friends. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to learn, travel, and make a positive impact while exploring one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

Best Trip Ever!
November 12, 2025by: Arianna McCarthy - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Costa Rica Adventure and ServiceThis past summer I had the opportunity to go on Costa Rica Adventure and Service through TFT! I had the best time, it’s truly hard to put into words. I had the pleasure to participate in a number of unique activities such as white water rafting, snorkeling, surfing and more. I was able to try new foods and learn about new cultures, while helping the community I was visiting. Throughout all of this, I was able to make 11 new best friends. I highly recommend this program and I cannot wait for my next trip with TFT this summer!

Three Countries, One Unforgettable Summer
November 11, 2025by: Ryan Blumenthal - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Australia, New Zealand and Fiji ServiceFrom Australia’s tranquil beaches and its bright skyline, to New Zealand’s incredible landscape, to Fiji’s turquoise water, this trip was the ultimate getaway for teens trying to explore new parts of the world and interact with people from all walks of life. The itinerary was filled with opportunities to see new wildlife and tropical fish, adorable seals and whales. The experience will never be matched.

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!
