"I recently went on the Australia and New Zealand Service trip. I flew halfway across the world for the first time and had the time of my life! Everyday was a new adventure and my counselors really helped me to discover my love for traveling. We did amazing things, such as scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef, sand-boarding, and going on the world’s fastest jet boat! I made some amazing friends that I continue to talk to, even after the trip. To everyone reading this, if you are considering singing up for this trip, do it! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and something that I will definitely never forget."

"My trip to Australia and New Zealand with Travel For Teens has changed my perspective on traveling, I was not just a tourist when I visited these foreign countries but became extremely immersed in their culture, through experiences such as watching a ritualistic haka in New Zealand to camping in the Australian outback with locals. I felt at home in these countries and not out of place, which sometimes can happen when traveling. We stayed in hostels, not big chain hotels, and got to meet so many locals that we could learn a lot from, such as where the best traditional places to eat were and where we should shop or visit if we had any free time (which luckily was not often because we always had some fun activity planned). Overall, I honestly had the time of my life on this trip and it really opened my eyes to truly experiencing different cultures, after I even told my mom that this trip has showed me that I want-NEED to continue traveling to different parts of the world for the rest of my life."

"I went on the Australia and New Zealand Service trip and it was life changing. I met some amazing people, which I became close with after about a day. I saw some of the most beautiful landscapes that I have ever seen. I visited the place where my favorite movie, The Lord of the Rings, was filmed. I held a koala and went glamping in the outback. I interacted with the locals and most importantly, I ventured out of my comfort zone, which makes for a more interesting adventure. The counselors were amazing and helpful and despite the age difference, no one ran out of things to talk about. TFT allowed me to experience something amazing and at such a young age, I was able to travel to a whole different world."

"Thank you team TFT for providing such an amazing, organized, safe, age appropriate and most importantly fun experience for Erin. She came home raving about the trip and loved her entire experience, the mix of teens and her trip leaders.We couldn’t be more impressed with the TFT experience from our first inquiry call, to the travel planning support and most especially the communication during the trip itself. Looking forward to more TFT adventures for Erin and her sister Casey as well once she’s ready."
