I have thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Sharing remarkable experiences in the UK with my group has been incredible, and I have felt warmly welcomed by everyone over the past month. I am deeply grateful for the laughter, conversations, and memories we have shared. Although some individuals may not have been fully prepared for the journey, this experience has been a valuable step in life for those stepping out of their comfort zones. Each experience has provided its own unique lesson.

Shereena from Garmany10 months High School Exchange Thailand, 2023
"If you are already doing an exchange year, and spending so much money, you would like to choose a country, maybe you have never been to before, or don’t know anything about, it will probably be an experience for your life that you will never forget, instead of going to the mainstream country that you already know everything"

At Marcellin College, I was lucky to have a helpful buddy. The teacher and students were very welcoming and the subjects were easier than in Thailand.
I never thought that everyone in the group that came together from Thailand would get close to each other this fast. Surprisingly, we got extremely close to each other on the second day. We did all the fun activities together and built a wonderful bond with each other. My favorite activity was going to Auckland Zoo and seeing different animals.

Liz BradleyTeach in Thailand Participant, October 2019 at Phusangwittayakhom School, Phayao
“Your time in Thailand you will get out what you put into it. I am thankful for my relationships with my students and they are one of the biggest things I got out of my time teaching.
My time in Thailand helped set me up for success in my current role. Living and working in a small rural part of Thailand meant I adapted to life in Asia more quickly. I became fluent in body language and hand gestures when speaking with locals. Currently I am a primary caretaker for Sun Bear cubs in Borneo. I am in an even more rural part of the world but I felt prepared coming from Phusang. My schedule and my resources have constantly fluctuated here in Indonesia but teaching in a Thai school helped me learn to embrace adaptability and flexibility. Forming relationships with my students helped me learn that bonds could be formed regardless of languages, and I have connected with many of the local staff here and we speak very little of each other’s language.”
