I spent two weeks last summer in Fiji on the trip called sun, sand, and international service. This was my first rustic trip so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. My trip was absolutely amazing. Meeting all of the locals and people in my group really changed me. The service got hard at times but it was really rewarding knowing that I was helping the locals. The base is amazing and had the most beautiful views and a pool! The only issue I had was that it was a little unorganized however in Fiji they have something called Fiji time which means that you go with the flow and do things whenever. This trip truly gives you a new view on life and you get to see a new side of Fiji that others don’t get to. I highly recommend this trip to Fiji or any other trip by rustic pathways.

It was the most amazing experience I've ever had. It's been two months since my trip and I still think about the experience every single day. This may sound cliched, but it changed my life completely.

The Elephant Conservation Center and Amazing Thailand program that I attended last summer through rustic pathways was truly amazing. I learned so much about taking care of elephants and the Thai culture. All of the Rustic staff were so responsible, caring, and fun for having been with a group of teenagers for 2 weeks. All of the food and accommodations that Rustic provided were perfect and I will never forget the local Thai people that welcomed us into their country with smiles. In addition, the other teenagers on my trip have become some of my closest friends and I keep in touch with them today. Thank you Rustic Pathways for the best experience of my entire life!

This is the 2nd summer my daughter has traveled with Rustic Pathways. She traveled to Peru in 2017 and Morocco in 2018. She did not travel with friends, but came home with 2 dozen new friends! I recommend Rustic to anyone who asks and those who don't! The company is highly organized and overly thoughtful to parents needs, kids needs and the impact travel has on the destinations. That is a powerful combination - I'm happy my daughter gets to experience all aspects of travel and immersion/service - not just the fun part! I truly believe that these experiences help our children become better citizens of the world - full of compassion and lacking fear of the unfamiliar.

Everything about Rustic Pathways is awesome, flawless, exciting, and I would never change my thoughts on it. They are experts when it comes to perfectly organizing your trip and making sure nothing goes wrong. They're also great at making sure your travel group will bond right away. Rustic is perfect if you want to work in something bigger than yourself but you have no idea where to begin.

It was one of the best experiences that I have ever had. If you are a person that really wants to test your limits and try new things, then definitely choose this trip.

I had such an amazing time on my trip a few weeks ago- I made incredible friends that I am going to visit soon and I had the experience of a lifetime. I am definitely doing another Rustic trip next year because I had such an incredible time in Peru!

Your programs as well as your program leaders are exceptional. Over the past 3 years, you have been a integral part of Arnav's life - not only teaching him many new aspects of life but also instilling a sense of giving, empathy, courage, over coming fear and sharing. You have helped mould his character in a very positive way & I am so very grateful to your team for the same.
