Travel with Purpose

“There is no other tour. Regular tourists go to touristy locations and crowded spaces full of people vacationing. This trip gives you the opportunity to be in remote villages that no other tourist will experience. You’re surrounded by Thai culture and learn some of the language. If you want to be immersed and experience Thailand with strangers that become best friends, I recommend GIVE. ” – Daija, Thailand

“Do it. It is the best thing that you will ever do. The people you meet, the friendships that feel like family, and the difference you are making. If you are ever traveling whilst volunteering I’d go with GIVE a million times over because of their morals and ethics towards how to go about working with these communities.” -Erin, Laos

“I have never been so affected by a trip or a group of people in my life. Give has offered me the chance to grow as a person and help others who I believe are deserving of every possible opportunity I have, and they have given me more than I thought I would receive. They have given me a new family, a new home, and a new mission and passion in life. GIVE motivated me to change my major to sustainability, to educate all those in my life on ways in which we can be less harmful to our environment and to educate them on different cultures. I have learned more about myself and who I am. I now am part of a community that will forever be connected worldwide. The work itself was rewarding in various ways and that combined with really immersing ourselves in their culture multiplied that reward by thousands. I have been abroad before and have one volunteer work in the past but nothing compares to this trip and these people” – Alexandra, Nicaragua

“Highly recommend traveling with this group and on this trip! It was such an amazing experience I will never forget. I loved volunteering and learning about the community, and everyone on the trip was so great to work alongside with! I loved my hosts and guides. I also travelled during some of the difficult post-COVID summer travel, and while I experienced flight delays, GIVE was there 24/7 on-call if anything was to happen and they were incredibly helpful in this aspect. Flying alone felt scary as a young female, and across the world too-but GIVE made me feel so comfortable and safe throughout the entire process.” – Jasmine, Tanzania

“I had an amazing two weeks in Sop Chem, Laos with my new family of global citizens! We were “small but mighty!” I learned so much while teaching English to local children, building sustainable classrooms with walls made of plastic bottles, playing volleyball and swimming in the river with the villagers, learning to fish, caving, zip lining, and much much more! I am proud to be a global citizen! Khoi Hak Jau Laos!” – Tashi, Thailand & Laos
