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.

Both our son and daughter have become more independent and have developed a more inclusive worldview as a result of their travel with Rustic Pathways.

A life changing two weeks. Sounds cheesy, but there was not a second without love and laughter !! (okay maybe a bit of tears at the end when we all had to say our goodbyes )

Great experience. Will do it again for sure.

I am so glad that I chose to travel with Rustic Pathways. I had the most incredible experience doing community service in Costa Rica. The work was very meaningful and the whole trip was so much fun. Our group became very close in just 9 days and we still communicate in our group chat daily.

If all the teenagers around the globe could walk in one another's shoes..the world would be more compassionate awake and positive...Thank you Rustic Pathways for knowing what matters and giving our children a direct experience into the heart of what it means to be alive ,heart felt and of service to the world so in need...deep gratitude...jane freedman

Overall my experience with rustic pathways was life changing! I went on a trip to Thailand with them for 18 days and I loved every second of it! I miss the other kids I met on the trip so much now that I am not with them! I truly made some lifelong friends while doing some once in a lifetime activities! I am looking forward to doing another trip with rustic next summer:)

I have been on two Rustic Pathways trips, one in Fiji and one in Cambodia and they have been some of the best weeks of my entire life! Rustic pathways is an amazing program that allows teens to explore the world in a way that they couldn’t otherwise. We went places that a normal tourist couldn’t and met people in the villages that made such a major impact on me. The lessons I learned and the people I met on my trip will impact me for the rest of my life and I am truly grateful for that. Rustic pathways is a life changing program and I would 10/10 recommend going on one of their trips!

My child went on the Intro to Community Service trip to Costa Rica and she says "it was AMAZING!!"

It changed my outlook on life and I would not trade my experience for anything. I would go back in a heartbeat!

one of the best experiences of my life. i miss it more and more everyday. amazing friends, adventure, and leaders.

rustic pathways made my trip to peru UNFORGETTABLE. i had such a great time exploring the country and meeting new teens. it was one of the best trips i have ever been on.

I can definitely say that going on a rustic pathways trip has changed my life and how I live it! I 100% recommend Rustic to anyone who is interested!

Thailand and Laos are so amazing. The locals are kind, the food is amazing, and the views are spectacular. I did an intense service trip where we came with nothing. 6 other teens and I worked with our 1 local staff and 2 trip leaders to work with cement and help local villages. Service was hard and filled 4-5 days per week. Every day for the most part I knew what to expect and what time meals were. Days were scheduled with little free time, lots of community service, and physical activity which attracted a like-minded group of people and made friendship easy. I loved my trip and hope to do rustic again!

It was an amazing trip and can’t wait to go on another one.

I went on the Costa Rica Turtle Conservation trip and had an amazing experience! I had amazing opportunities for volunteering and learning about the world around me while making incredible best friends along the way. I immediately missed Costa Rica and all the people I met there upon returning home. Highly recommend!

Best trip ever! I got to go skydiving which is something I never thought I would do especially being afraid of heights. We scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef! We worked with kangaroos during volunteering and so much more!

GRoup leaders have no training and treat the students horribly. They also have no idea what’s happening and nothing is on schedule. If you would like to be bullied and not have conselors do anything about it then this is for you.

The programs are a little over glamorized online and are a lot more rustic than you realize when you get there. Staff is really understanding and nice and always look out for your child. Australia is very rustic and far away, a lot different than the other trips.
