Travel For Teens: Berlin, Paris and London

I had such an enriching experience. Not only did I meet people that I have continued to stay in contact with, but I was able to see different countries and open my horizon. Traveling to Berlin I had such a fun time with trying the cultural food, bike riding through the city, and visiting monuments that I would have never thought I would have the possibility to visit. In Paris I claimed the Eiffel tower, went bike riding, learned amazing historical information about France, and was able to have their amazing cuisine while trying dishes I have never heard of before. Then in London our final destination we went all throughout London, using the tube. We stayed in an amazing hotel, and we were able to walk on the Abbey Road crosswalk recreating the Iconic Beatles album cover. There was so much more to this trip I would recommend.

My life changed drastically over the course of two weeks and I owe that change to Travel for Teens and the summer I spent abroad in Berlin, Paris, and London! From the moment I stepped off the plane, I was greeted to nonstop action. From the get-go, there was so much to do. Being exposed to other cultures and learning phrases in German and French was fascinating and showed me that there was so much more to the world than my tiny bubble in California. From biking around Berlin to riding on the London Eye, there was never an absence of adventures. Besides adventures, there was also a community that formed over the course of two weeks. The staff were able to make every moment enjoyable and the other campers all contributed to the general companionship through their kindness and willingness to learn about the foreign world we found ourselves in. In the end, I came home wanting to go on more trips in the summers to come! From my summer, I’ve made lasting friendships and can effectively call myself a traveller and not a tourist!

This was my first tft trip in the summer of 2015. I had such a great experience, that over the next few summer I went on three more trips!! This was my first experience with traveling abroad without my family and I wouldn't change a thing. My group was pretty big, so it was really cool meeting and bonding with people from all over the US. My counselors were amazing and took us on one big adventure! It was nice traveling to three very different countries, because we were able to identify different factors of each culture. I loved visiting the East Side Gallery in Berlin, roaming the enchanting streets of Paris and seeing a picturesque view from the London Eye. I would recommend this trip 100% if you're looking for some unforgettable memories!!
