This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with Tru Experience Travel for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.

TRU Experience

Dec 30, 2017

Tru Experience are everything they say they are, I can not believe I got every thing I expected and even more from such a trip. I was so nervous about booking the trip as I had not heard of Tru Experience Travel before. But they were absolutely amazing from the start to finish of my trip.
I will certainly be booking many more of my cultural trips with Tru Experience, Everything was so overwhelmingly incredible, If you wish to travel and volunteer abroad I highly recommend this organisation.

What would you improve about this program?
In my eyes I saw nothing that needed improving

Loved the trip but misleading

Dec 17, 2015

I loved this trip! it was the best thing I decided to do. I went alone and meet 30 people on this tour with me. I had so much fun and laughs and my memories are unreal from the experience. One of the tour guides was absolutely amazing and couldn't be more helpful or do more however the other guide was there just to party and do it her way. they knew nothing about the locations, go to drunk when no one else was and went off on her own to please her when it was free days. I would recommend the trip but we missed a lot of things which were in the trip itinerary.

What would you improve about this program?
Improve the trip itinerary to be more truthful as I was disappointed on the things we didn't do. improve certain tour guides knowledge and priorities.

AMAAAZEEE

Dec 16, 2015

hmmmmmmmm I ate street food and never got sick! I don't know about unique stories, but I am unique. I could tell you hundreds of stories about Thailand, but the main point of the story will always be I had a life-changing experience and I'm so thankful I was able to have this opportunity.

Amazing time!

Dec 5, 2015

When i was in Thailand on the project, we tool a weekend off to explore on the weekend, on one of the beaches, When i first got shown to my hut, it was in the cliff face, as the man is climbing up the rocks with my suitcase, i am following behind in my flip flops. He looks back for me and i said im fine im keeping up.... I lost my footing and fell down the cliff onto the beach. It wasn't funny at the time but i can now look back and laugh. I swapped my cliff face hut to a safer beach hut.

What position do you hold at Tru Experience Travel? What has been your career path so far?

I am the managing Director at Tru Experience Travel, in my earlier years I did not have a career path, in fact I was unable to find work for 2 years.

When I did find work it was temporary admin roles for various companies. I didn’t enjoy the work and they failed to inspire me - dead end jobs. Entering adulthood with no real qualifications or talent to offer any organization, followed by a pretty bad car accident persuaded me to make changes to my life.

Did YOU volunteer abroad?! If so, where and what inspired you to go?

After volunteering in China, I started to support vulnerable adults because I wanted to help others in my home country. I supported people suffering from mental health issues, and also people with learning disabilities and challenging behavior.

What is your favorite volunteer abroad memory?

I took other opportunities to volunteer abroad and begun to build Tru Experience Travel. Volunteering abroad is what has made me who I am today and still are best experiences I have ever had in my life. Volunteering abroad completely change me as a person as well as help me find my purpose in life.

Describe a time when you felt especially proud to be part of the Tru Experience Travel team.

I am very proud to be apart of Tru Experience Travel. Giving people the same amazing opportunities and experiences. Being able to give something unique of yourself to a community less fortunate gives you the volunteer a life long memory to carry forever. Not only that memory will you carry but you will gain your very own new life skills and grow in confidence along the way. If that’s not something to be proud of I don’t know what is?! :)

What does the future hold for Tru Experience Travel - any exciting new programs to share?

The future for Tru Experience Travel is certainly bright, everyday is new and everyday we work harder with our partners to develop new projects. Tru Experience Travel have built new partnerships in many destinations, so yes there will be new projects and new destination to look out for in 2016. Argentina and St Lucia just two of them. We can’t wait…
