In even those little interactions

by: HeatherProgram: GoEco - Top Rated & Award Winning Volunteer Programs Abroad

My most memorable experience was looking forward to feeding the beautiful elephants each day and seeing their excitement when we would arrive. In even those little interactions, you got to know a little more about the elephant’s personality each time.

From this trip, so many individuals of varying backgrounds have touched my heart and greatly impacted my life.

Individual experiences are not what make a trip of this sorts memorable. It’s all the people you meet. From this trip, so many individuals of varying backgrounds have touched my heart and greatly impacted my life.
