Loved my time with Gotoco

Going to Thailand with Gotoco made this summer one of the most memorable times of my life. Teaching in a small school in the middle of rural Thailand was way out of my comfort zone, and everyday kept my mind full and my heart warm. Additionally, the experience as a whole contributed to a real boost to my confidence, especially travelling so far (Thailand), with no one I knew, and as a 19 year old first year. The constant group settings helped tremendously with any challenge I faced and the community we had was something I was not expecting to be this strong. I made such good friends with people from the programme and outside, and I also took the days off to travel to the south of Thailand's beaches, with my roommate from the programme, which ended up being the single greatest trip of my life. I'm extremely content that this trip got to be both a great skill-building experience that can contribute to my resume, as well as an unforgettable soul-shaping adventure.
