Europe for Older Teens: Prague, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia

Last summer (2023) I was lucky enough to join a trip with Travel for Teens to Prague, Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia. As an 18-year-old traveler, it was important for me to find a company that could cater to my age group and interests, and Travel for Teens more than exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived in Prague, I could tell that I was in good hands. The itinerary was packed with amazing experiences that I don't think I could have gotten anywhere else. It was clear that Travel for Teens had done their research and put together a trip that was both unique and exciting. One of the things that really stood out to me was the variety of activities we got to do. One day we were exploring Prague’s winding cobblestone streets, and the next we were whitewater rafting through the rivers in Bled, Slovenia. Each day felt like a new adventure, and I loved that we got to see and experience so much in such a short amount of time. Another thing that made this trip so special was the people. Our counselors were fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, and always there to answer our questions. But what really stood out to me was the opportunity to form lifelong friendships with the other older teens on the trip. From day one, we were encouraged to get to know our fellow travelers and break out of our comfort zones. Through team-building activities, group dinners, and shared experiences, we formed bonds that will last a lifetime. What impressed me most was the maturity level of my fellow travelers. We were all there to have fun and get to know each other, but we were also respectful and responsible. Our trip leaders trusted us and gave us enough freedom to explore on our own, but also made sure we were safe and accounted for. It was so cool to meet other teens from all over the world who shared my love of travel and adventure. We all quickly became friends and had a blast exploring together. Overall, I can't recommend Travel for Teens enough. This trip was such a unique experience traveling to countries I otherwise would not have visited and I feel so lucky to have been a part of it. If you're an older teen looking for an unforgettable travel experience, definitely check them out. You won't regret it!!
