"There are so many amazing places in Italy, it seems impossible to see all the famous and breathtaking sights in one trip, right? WRONG! I had always wanted to travel throughout Italy to get a chance to explore both the countryside of Tuscany and the beaches of Cinque Terre, and this trip was the perfect way to do just that. The activities on this trip ranged from a vast variety of making homemade pesto in a local Italian restaurant in Monterosso to climbing up the steep and slanted stairs of the Duomo in Florence. Whether I was hiking along the breathtaking views of the Cinque Terre trails or attempting to take a clever photo holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, I was never found without a smile on my face. The friendships I made on this trip are still strong to this day, and the memories and experiences were unforgettable."
"Thanks to Travel For Teens, I had an amazing summer and I can't wait to have another one this year! I went on this trip without knowing anyone and I left with a group of new friends. We started in Berlin, we saw everything from lush parks to 13th-century churches to beautiful art museums. Then Paris, we climbed so many tourist attractions, Arc de Triumph, the hills of Montmartre and of course The Eiffel Tower. There was so much culture in London, from Abbey Road to Harry Potter there is something for everyone! I highly recommend this trip for anyone new to Europe and looking for an interesting trip filled with history, culture, and adventure!"
"This was my first TFT trip ever. I had such a great experience, that over the next few summer I went on three more trips!! This was my first experience with traveling abroad without my family and I wouldn't change a thing. My group was pretty big, so it was really cool meeting and bonding with people from all over the US. My counselors were amazing and took us on one big adventure! It was nice traveling to three very different countries, because we were able to identify different factors of each culture. I loved visiting the East Side Gallery in Berlin, roaming the enchanting streets of Paris and seeing a picturesque view from the London Eye. I would recommend this trip 100% if you're looking for some unforgettable memories!!"
"Over this past summer I had the pleasure to go on a Travel For Teens trip. I'm happy to say that TFT literally opened the doors to a whole new world for me. It's just not the same seeing these amazing places on TV, and then seeing them in person. TFT lets you experience the pure joy and happiness through the abundance of trips they offer and they perform in such a respectable, professional, and fun manner! I even had signed up too late to go on my trip and they made sure to go out of their way to help me be able to go on the trip."
"This was my very first trip with TFT and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The whole trip was well organized and allowed the perfect balance of educational experiences, like bike tours of the city's history, and relaxing activities, like a nice day at the beach. Not only was the trip amazing, but the people were so welcoming and I was able to make lifelong friends. We had the opportunity to try crazy new foods, like escargot, and one of my personal favorites was trying all the different gelato flavors. Definitely a trip I will remember forever!"
"This trip was everything I could ask for and more. I am a huge adrenaline junkie and this trip did everything it could to help sustain that. Mountain climbing at insane heights, zip lining over canyons, paragliding off of mountains, mountain biking, and cliff diving. What more could you ask for? Additionally, the cities you stay in were beautiful especially Switzerland. Switzerland is often an overlooked country when it comes to Europe but it is definitely one of my favorites and a must for any traveler. The wooden ski villages have an almost holiday charm to them that can not be found anywhere else. It is truly a one of a kind country and you really get to experience it on this trip."
"What a blast. I loved this trip so so so much. It was an unbelievable amount of fun even with some of the bumps that randomly happened during my time there. No matter what the issue was my counselors were there to help and get me back on my feet and ready to adventure more. There was so much todo and it was certainly a very adventurous trip that kept you on your feet. And don't even get me started on the food. To say the least it was TO DIE FOR. So dang good. Honestly one of the main highlights of the trip for me. Id recommend this trip to everyone that's looking for a good time, a lot of exhilarating activities, breathtaking views, and best of all the wide variety of foods. GO TFT!"
"I went on this trip in the summer and it was absolutely thrilling!! I loved all the little adventures we went on and activities we got to do. One of my favorite parts was snowboarding in the Swiss Alps, which was like nothing I've ever experienced before. Another experience that sent my adrenaline soaring was canyoning, which was one of the most amazing things I've ever done!! My group was very small on this trip, which enabled us all to get really close, including the counselors. By the end of the trip we were all super comfortable together, which made the experience even better. The alps were breathtaking and were the perfect setting for this exhilarating trip!! I recommend this trip to anyone looking for adventure filled, unforgettable memories!!"
"The best country I’ve ever visited! There was never a dull moment, and I made so many amazing friends. The trip was the perfect mixture between countryside, beach, and city. My favorite part was visiting the Elephant Sanctuary and ziplining in the jungle in Chiang Mai. I would relive it if I had the chance."
"I traveled with TFT and have not forgotten a moment of it. From the beautiful site seeing to adventurous white water rafting, I had loved every minute. Travel For Teens did something to me that no other experience has been able to do: Give me the travel bug. I have such a love and yearning to travel and experience new cultures and have TFT to thank! The staff was incredible and I can honestly say that they were the ringmasters to making the trip as wonderful as it was. The travelers with me were kind and funny and I still think of them often! Although I had never been on a trip like this before, I felt completely safe and like I had been traveling to countries like it my entire life. We experienced swimming in a serene waterfall, feeding and bathing gorgeous elephants, and relaxing on the beach. With a perfect mix of calmness and adventure, there isn’t a trip I could recommend more!"
"Going to Thailand was an experience I will never forget. I traveled with a couple friends I had met on a previous TFT trip, which was awesome! TFT gave me the opportunity to experience things I probably never could have if I had traveled on my own, like doing community service with elephants! Through doing community service, exploring Thai markets, and island hopping I was able to experience many different aspects of the country. I happened to get sick for a few days near the end of my trip, but my TFT counselors made sure to take great care of me and help me in any way they could. I had so much fun traveling with TFT!"
"This trip was amazing! The elephant sanctuaries were such fun and educational community service experiences that I know I will never forget. The first half of the trip really emerged us in the Thai culture within the inner cities and residential areas, and the second half allowed us to relax on the beaches and enjoy the islands. No matter where we were in Thailand, I always managed to find some delicious pad thai! Overall, I had a great time with such a fun group of people."
"This was my Fourth TFT trip and definitely the most fulfilling!! I went to Thailand and had an amazing experience. We had some thrilling adventures, like zip lining and scuba diving, but my favorite part was the service aspect. We helped with renovations to a school in a small village near Chiang Mai. I was also lucky enough to participate in the optional excursion to Angkor Watt in Cambodia. The temples were breathtaking and I consider it one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. We had a small group so everyone on the trip, including the counselors got pretty close. I recommend this trip to anyone looking for an experience of a lifetime."
"I went on the 21-day Tanzania service trip and it was life changing. Nothing can ever prepare you for the feeling you will get staring into the clearest sky and seeing millions of stars staring back at you. Being immersed in the culture of these inspiring people was such an eye-opener and really taught me to be grateful for what I have. From the exotic animals in Serengeti National Park, to the beautiful, young girls at SEGA school, exploring Tanzania was a soul search I never knew I needed. I personally guarantee your child will have an amazing time on this trip. I recommend it 100% for all ages and all personalities."
"This trip was truly amazing in so many ways. Not only is Korea amazing in itself, but the staff are very fun, helpful, and knowledgeable. When I went, the group only had 11 travelers, so we all got to know each other really well. It felt like one big family, adventuring across the beaches, snacking on new flavors (be it spicy, fruity, stinky, or sweet--my favorites), shopping along the streets, and drinking in the Korean culture. Warning: it's hot and humid in the summer, but it's really worth it. It was a completely unique and diverse experience that has everything from historic temples to modern cities to rocky sea views to relaxing spas. I had so much fun and really felt immersed!"
