Amazing experience from start to finish. Coaching sports gave me the chance to make a real impact, and the kids’ energy was contagious. Island hopping across Asia added the perfect balance stunning beaches, friendly locals, and endless adventure. Truly a trip I’ll never forget.

When I wasn’t coaching, I explored some of Asia’s most breathtaking islands. Travelling by boat from one paradise to the next felt surreal. I swam in turquoise lagoons, hiked through lush jungles, and tasted incredible local dishes along the way. The combination of meaningful volunteer work and island adventure created a perfect balance of purpose and exploration. I left with new friendships, unforgettable memories, and a deeper appreciation for the region.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin touring and volunteering across Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. 10/10 doesn’t even feel like a high enough rating.

Every country had something unique to offer. Tanzania completely blew me away with its landscapes and wildlife seeing animals in their natural habitat was surreal. Kenya had this amazing energy, from the people to the culture, and the balance between city life and nature was just perfect. Uganda, though, really stole my heart. The warmth of the people there and the sense of community made the whole experience feel so meaningful.

Volunteering was the highlight of it all. It wasn’t just about giving back it was about connection, learning, and gaining a completely new perspective. The communities were so welcoming, and even the smallest contributions felt appreciated. I learned so much, not just about different ways of life, but about myself too.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. 🌍✨

I joined TRU on a road trip through Thailand and Cambodia. It was totally unique and incredible. I didn't want the usual "party and drink" island-hop, but to see more of the culture whilst considering the environment along the way. The road trip was out of this world. Not only did I get to meet incredible new friends from around the world and locally but immerse myself in 2 beautiful cultures and give back along the way. If you want to have fun see amazing sites and meet amazing people then this is the perfect road trip :)

I was so worried about which organisation I should volunteer overseas with. Some were far too expensive and some didn't seem to have enough volunteer hours. I decided to book my experience with Tru Experience after having lots of communications with Hannah one of the team members. Hannah was so helpful and reassuring answering all of my questions as silly as some of them may have been. The price was also well within my budget and it is great to see where alot of the money goes with the projects. I had 3 of the most amazing weeks of my life in Indonesia volunteering at the dog shelter and at a kindergarten. I have made friends for life and feel my contribution to volunteering has made a great impact not only on the projects I supported but my own life. Thank you so much for everything you do and for allowing me to take part on your incredible projects in Indonesia.

I have been traveling since I left university and have signed up to verisious different organisations volunteering programs, I strongly recommend tru experience travel they are great value for money as most there projects are cheaper than other gap year organisations. I was always looked after if I needed anything I always had someone to ask and it would be sorted within mins. The projects i volunteered in was hands down the bestttt experiences i have had since traveling from the project to the co ordinaters to the food to the accommodation was superberb.

Where on earth do I start. I want to Thank all the Team at Tru experience travel for making my travel abroad dreams become a reality. I had the most amamzing experience of my life to date. Spending time volunteering in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos finishing my incredible 4 months abroad with a road trip and island hop across thailand. I have met so many amazing people and friends for life both locally and around the world. I could never have planned such an experience without the help of the Tru experience travel team. Thank you for everythingggg. I will be heading back for you to plan my next adventure in 2018

Its always been a worry of mine to book a holiday and have it all planned by someone you don't really know, you are putting a lot of faith in that individual to give you the best experience possible. Hannah from tru experience was able to provide me with that reassurance that i was going to have an amazing time and she was right...great fun well planned holiday
