Travel For Teens: Ireland

It was very beautiful in Ireland, and we got to explore very popular places but we also were able to go to less known places. Everywhere we went we were able to choose what activities we wanted to do. We went to achill island which was the highlight of the trip and got to swim in a bog, surf paddle board and hang out with friends we made on the trip. We got to go on hikes with locals that would tell us what the history of whatever place we were in, and hear stories from many people. We also were able to try all of the local foods, which were homemade and very scrumptious. It was a wonderful experience.

I had never done an overnight camp before and I decided to go big and go to Scotland and Ireland with TFT! It was the best experience I ever had and I made so many memories. First off, the staff is incredible and they always take care of safety first, they are very fun, and very supportive. One of the best adventures I remember was when we went rock climbing on the cliffs and rocks on the coast of Ireland, we got to jump off from the cliffs and into the ocean and that was such a blast. We also got to visit a castle and learn about falcons and even hold them as they would fly back and forth off our arms. The food was also incredible, as we got to try typical meals like a full English breakfast and haggis. The accommodations were very good too. For two of the three places we stayed at, we stayed at a hostel. They were quite small, but with all the new friends you meet there, it does not feel weird to be within such close proximity with others. The third place we stayed at was at an outdoor activity center on Achill Island and that was the most fun since every day there was a new activity such as surfing, canoeing, coasteering (climbing the rocks by the ocean), archery, and so many more. I have traveled a lot before, but with TFT, they are always on the move and you are trying new activities and trying new food while taking in the breathtaking scenery.

It was a fun trip with fun people, the food was great the views where even better. The people that went on the trip just made the trip better I kept in touch with most of the people from my trip. I would not trade my experiences with TFT for anything this was my 4th trip with them and had a blast I enjoyed my self and would recommend TFT to anyone all of the trips are fun and your are going to have a fun time no matter which trip you choose.

Favourite memory: While we were in Achill Island at the Outdoor adventure centre, all of the girls were in one room and boys in another. There were 4 bunkbeds! So all 8 of us crowded in this tiny room and had a huge bonding night and shared stories about our lives. It was such a memorable moment to be so close to people I had only known for less than a week :)
