What a time!!
by: Kiley P. - United StatesProgram: The Camino del Mayab TrailGlobe Aware was so helpful from the pre-departure to the arrival. Really a beyond-the-expected experience. I will definitely do a volunteer travel each year. I volunteered in Merida, Mexico and it was a trip of a lifetime. I really connected with the locals, I swam in beautiful cenotes every day, and explore the Mayapan ruins etc.. I helped the surrounding community rebuild a school. I definitely recommend this kind of experience to anyone curious and who is seeking meaningful trips.
This was amazing!!
by: Sikha Naik - United StatesProgram: The Camino del Mayab TrailMy first time in Mexico was nothing short of amazing! Not only did I make life-long friends in the small communities I did projects in, but I got to experience the magical cenotes, diverse wildlife, and delicious homemade meals! I can not recommend this experience to others!
