Laos expedition reviews

LAOS & VIETNAM REVIEWS

The whole trip was an amazing experience that I will never forget. It was so well organised. The Project phase was so rewarding and it felt so good to give something to others, It was great to embrace the entire culture of another country and do something that was so far out of my comfort zone.

Rebecca, Holmes, Challenger, Girton Grammer School

The overall expedition was amazing! I've never experienced so much before. It was a challenge and well worth the effort. The friendships and memories will stay with me forever.

Bella Johnson, Challenger, Girton Grammer School

This expedition has definitely been a one in a lifetime chance to experience something foreign from what I am used to. From climbing Happy Mountain to the religious farewell, I have experienced achievements that I have never felt on my life. Thank you World Challenge for all that has been done to ensure that the expedition has lived up to what I had expected plus much more!

Braeden Figg, Challenger, Girton Grammer School

I really enjoyed my experiences in Vietnam and Laos and am looking forward to going back. World Challenge gave me an amazing opportunity and I had a great time. I loved every second!

Paige Hudson, Challenger, Kambala

This expedition has allowed students to grow as independent individuals. They are more confident in themselves, more empathetic to others in our global community and even to each other. It has brought their electronic world into reality. I have enjoyed watching and helping the students develop and also developed my own understanding of them as individuals.
