GBGIVE Thailand Thailand with GIVE was a life changing experience for me. I was able to get out of my comfort zone while also meeting like minded people and volunteering for important causes. The small hill tribes and local guides were the kindest people and it was very special getting immersed into their culture and learning their way of life. I made very special connections with the students that we taught and it was amazing to see their hard work and love for learning. Also learning how to be a global citizen and making a positive impact on our earth was special when doing things like working in the permaculture lot. Overall this trip was so special and eye opening and I plan to do more trips with GIVE in the future! I also recommend everyone to go on a trip with GIVE.

AUIndescribable It is to hard to put into words how amazing this trip was! The guides who truly cared about each and every one of us, and individually facilitated our own self-growth. The countless amazing activities that were organized for us to enjoy, and fit so perfectly into the trip. I felt that we were truly culturally immersed, and there was a lot of mutual respect between us and the communities we were involved in. It was so easy to know that everything was arranged for us, including the most delicious food! It allowed me to really engage myself in the work and fun that we were doing. Meeting like-minded people from all over the world was such a special and beautiful experience.

GBBeyond my most Optimistic Expectations I cannot say enough great things about this Nicaragua trip in Winter 2023-24. The way it was organized, the amount of insanely amazing things we did, our amazing guides that absolutely cared for us every step of the way, just everything was incredible. Just some of the top tier life experiences were climbing an active volcano to see a gorgeous sunset view, sand boarding down a volcano, surfing, mangrove planting, a baby sea turtle release, incredibly fun dance parties, and that's just scratching the surface of all the fun things we did. You will meet so many people that you will get extremely close with over your time on the trip. Additionally, I felt totally in good hands with my guides Mike, Kerri, Megan, and Moises that made sure we were supervised, fed 3 great meals a day, and always checked up on us. If you are on the fence about going on a GIVE trip, I 100% suggest you go because it WILL change your life and it WILL be one of the greatest memories of your entire life.

GBNicaragua Trip Traveling with Give was surely an experience I will never forget. I am so thankful I was able to learn and grow so much. It was incredible to not only build deep connections with those on the trip but members of the community as well. I think everyone should travel with Give at some point in their life.

GBMy GIVE trip to Laos was unforgettable My GIVE trip to Laos was unforgettable. From teaching the kids of Sop Chem English and cleaning/planting in the permaculture lot to learning about the culture of Laos, it was two weeks I’ll never forget. It was so eye opening to experience such a different way of life from that which is lived in the States. I gained a new perspective on self-respect and had an incredible time embarking on new adventures every day. I can’t wait for my future GIVE trips!
