TFT Summer Trip 2023 to Thailand
by: Edwin Mwangi - KenyaProgram: Travel For Teens: Thailand Elephant Service and the IslandsI heard about TFT from my friend in the United States who had used TFT before, and he told me that he had a fantastic experience. He shared some photos of places he had visited, which were terrific. Upon arriving in Thailand, I met the TFT group counselor at the airport and headed to the hotel. On our way to the hotel, we stopped at the 911 shop, got some snacks, and continued our journey. After one hour, we finally arrived, and they showed us the rooms where we were staying. We later went to t...
Amazing experience
by: Sophie Bloom - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Thailand Elephant Service and the IslandsIt was an AMAZING experience. I have made memories that will last a lifetime and friends I speak to daily. It was amazing to see 1st hand how all the community service you were doing genuinely meant to the community. This past summer, I taught English to children in Thailand- it was indescribable watching the children light up when my group would come to teach them. Leaving them was the most challenging part of all. I have been on 3 TFT service trips and hope to go on many more. My friends at ho...
Thailand with travel for teens!
by: Ruby Foster - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Thailand Elephant Service and the IslandsMy experience with Travel for Teens in Thailand was unlike anything I’ve ever done. It felt like I was actually experiencing the country and not just visiting it. Not only do I now get to look back on the unique experiences I was able to participate in, such as working with elephants, but I also made strong and close connections within my group. Through my experiences with Travel for Teens, I have made friends around the world. The other campers, amazing counselors, and the exploration of the co...

I have always loved traveling and learning about new people and cultures. I have traveled with this company before and had an amazing experience so when I heard about the program to Thailand to work with elephants, I couldn't pass it up.

When I was younger I had gone overseas to Europe and really enjoyed being immersed in a different culture and meeting new people which inspired me to take travel into my own hands and find programs to gain a few miles on my soul, and volunteering to to make a positive impact on the world was an added bonus I got with my programs. My trip last year to Costa Rica only made me want to go out and experience, see, and do more with my life. So traveling this Summer seemed like almost a requirement.
