Travel For Teens South Africa

Nov 13, 2017

This was a really fun trip! i learned a lot of new things and had experiences of a life time. I loved the service that we did, it was amazing to see how happy the kids were when we finished the playground. This trip allowed me to go outside of my comfort zone which was great. Travel for Teens made sure that we were safe and updated our parents daily on what we did. One this trip I was able to experience things that I would never have if I didn't go on this trip. I think it is a great trip if you are looking for something that will challenge you but you will still have the best time.

What would you improve about this program?
I think one thing that could be improved is maybe doing more service, I really enjoyed the service aspect and I would have loved to do more. But everything was great

Travel For Teens South Africa

This was my first time traveling with TFT and it was so much fun! I am already signed up for this upcoming summer to go on another trip. Going to South Africa was such an amazing experience. On this trip I was having fun well being able to have an experience of a lifetime. I made great friends that I still talk to. The trip was adventurous but yet relaxing. My favorite part was the service. Being able to help kids and families meant so much to me and I think about it everyday. This trip was great because we traveled all over South Africa which allowed me to see so much more. From going shark diving, to building a playground by far this was one of my favorite trips I have ever been on.

What would you improve about this program?
I think that the only way for this program to be improved would be if we stayed in some places for longer. There was lots of moving from one hostel to another which led to lots of driving. But overall it was so much fun!

South Africa is often thought of as resoundingly unstable and poor; however, this is far from the case. The duality in South Africa encompasses big cities with a well-developed infrastructure, as well as rural areas that are under developed and impoverished. South Africa is well known for having 11 recognized languages, beautiful landscapes, and abundance of animals
