A once in a lifetime trip

Going on this trip with Toucan Abroad has changed my life for the better. It gave me the opportunity to learn about physical therapy hands on with likeminded people who have the same career path. Additionally, the adventures we took such as zip lining, boating, surfing, and 4 wheeling are memories that will never be forgotten. The staff running this program are amazing and encourage so much learning and exploring. If I could go on this trip every year I would, and if you are debating going on a Toucan Abroad trip, I would highly recommend it!

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments I had while in Mexico had to be when we were all zip lining and someone’s flip flop fell off and a worker had to hike into the jungle to find it.
