I joined a great group of people with Gotoco. All the Gotoco team were very supportive and made sure we had a fun, safe time throughout the whole process. We had many interesting experiences, with all essentials (meals, travel and accomodation) covered by the funding. Overall, a fantastic experience and I'd encourage anyone else to take advantage of one of Gotoco's generous programmes.

From start to finish, we were looked after thoroughly. The teaching experience was incredible and something I will remember forever and the people in our group and who we met were lovely. We also were taken on some unbelievable excursion's in our days off - which really helped people to settle in Thailand. I loved our Thai language and cooking lessons.

One of first nights as a group we went out on a boat trip down the river in Bangkok, then came back and had lovely food and played pool - what a night.

The program has been hugely beneficial to me in so many ways. Firstly the opportunity to travel abroad and learn about other cultures is something I did not think I would be able to do for a long time. The experience and lessons I have learnt from independent travel will help towards my future career aspiration in international humanitarian work. Secondly, the opportunity to help a local community through teaching has given me first-hand experience in volunteering whilst building up my sense of responsibility.
