Trip of a Lifetime

This experience with GIVE was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to travel the world making an impactful change. From the second I left the airport the staff immediately made me feel at home. Even though I was on the other side of the world I never once felt uneasy about safety, the people around me, or that I would be on my own. The accommodations were always well kept and comfortable. And the food was good. Though there wasn’t much variety we got to try some local cuisines which was such a cool experience. Our guides both local and non-local were AMAZING. Always wanting to share more about the country and the culture. They were supportive, kind, and extremely bubbly. Without them the trip wouldn’t have been the same. Picking GIVE to go on this trip with was never once questioned while I was there. I made friendships and memories that will last a lifetime and a new appreciation for travel and adventure. The communities we spent time in were so excited to have us there and you could tell we’re grateful for our support. Being there you could tell how much they all loved GIVE as an organization and the people apart of it. You could also see how GIVE changed the staff and guides in ways I never would’ve imagined. This trip showed me how supporting communities and “voting with your dollar” can make changes while traveling and is something I will carry on in my own traveling endeavors. I would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to travel solo, with a group, or with a friend/family. You will leave with a changed perspective and bonds that will last forever. I’m incredibly thankful I decided to choose GIVE everyday.
