High School Medical program in Mongolia
My son participated in the medical program in Mongolia with Project Abroad during the summer while he was in high school, and it was an amazing experience. He gained valuable hands-on exposure to healthcare, learned a great deal, and made lasting friendships with students from around the world.
The program also included fun activities and opportunities to explore the local culture. As a parent, I felt reassured knowing there was consistent adult supervision and that the accommodations were safe and well organized.
This experience had a meaningful impact on him and even became the topic of his college application essay. He was later accepted into his first-choice university as a pre-med student.
We highly recommend Project Abroad!

A huge congratulations to Samuel on being accepted into his first-choice university as a pre-med student, we are so proud that his experience with us played a part in his college application essay!
We wish Samuel the absolute best of luck as he begins this exciting next chapter of his medical journey.

Tanzania 2025
My daughter enjoyed two weeks in Tanzania in the summer of 2025. Projects Abroad provided the right balance of promoting independent travelling and providing structured support - entrusting my daughter to get to Tanzania, with an organised schedule thereafter.
She loved the balance of constructive work and exploring a new country. She learned to build relationships and to make new friends. She broadened her understanding of the world and its wide and varied cultures.
During her time in Africa, she received her exam results and had to endure a stressful three hours awaiting news of her university place. During this period the PA staff made appropriate arrangements to ensure she was supported, and then made sure that everyone celebrated her achievements.
Would absolutely recommend.

An amazing adventure
My daughter had an amazing adventure, meeting new people from all over the world and living her best life whilst learning new life skills. The family run conservation in Mexico was very welcoming and made them feel safe from the moment they landed, with lots of fun thrown in.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
The pre-departure information sessions were excellent, providing clear and thorough guidance. Having access to staff both in Australia and at the destination made it easy to have questions answered promptly, which was greatly appreciated. The level of planning, organisation, and attention to detail gave me strong confidence in the care and supervision provided for the children.
The trip itself was outstanding, and the duty of care met all expectations. I felt very comfortable entrusting my son to Projects Abroad.
I would highly recommend Projects Abroad. It was truly a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience for my son, who also had the opportunity to build lasting friendships with participants from around the world.

Summer in Nepal
Our daughter had a truly wonderful experience with Project Abroad in Nepal.

Thailand trip of lifetime for marine conservation
Our son went to Thailand for the diving and marine conservation from Australia and the service which started before the trip until he got home was nothing short of amazing. He was well looked after by the staff, airlines and hotel, with projects abroad making it all seamless. As a parent, projects abroad was amazing and they gave him the experience of a lifetime.

great experience in Kenya for my 16 years old
my daughter (16 y.o.) had a fantastic experience in Kenya, helping to renovate a school classroom in a poor neighbourhood and keeping kids entertained in English in afternoon. She was part of a group of 6, they were all hosted within one big family house. A lifetime experience ! I strongly recommend.

He thoroughly enjoyed the animal interactions and meeting new kids his age with similar interests.
During his time in the Galapagos, he became ill and the PA team did an excellent job taking care of him and keeping us updated at home.

Hi Nalinie,
Thank you so much for sharing Dylan’s experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that he had such a great time in the Galapagos connecting with the local wildlife and bonding with other volunteers who share his passions. We also truly appreciate you mentioning the support he received when he wasn't feeling his best. We know how stressful it can be for parents when their child is miles away from home, it makes us so glad he felt looked after and that we could keep you updated every step of the way.
It sounds like he’s walked away with some fantastic memories and new friendships. Thank you for trusting Projects Abroad with his adventure!
My time working in the Philippines was…
My time working in the Philippines was an incredible experience and a true blessing. Getting to know the families of San Remigio was deeply rewarding, and while the assignment was challenging, I wouldn’t change a single thing about it.
A huge part of my success was thanks to the Projects Abroad Coordinator, Janely. She is an absolute rockstar and an incredible mentor who pushed me out of my comfort zone, helping me achieve so much in such a short time. Additionally, the host family I stayed with has become like my own; I’ve established lifelong friendships that I will always treasure.
Between the rich culture, the warm people, and the delicious Filipino cuisine, I fell in love with the country. Living in Bogo was a major highlight, and having pristine beaches and perfect weather nearby was the cherry on top. I would do this all over again in a heartbeat!

Hi Jose,
Reading your review brought a huge smile to our entire team’s faces! We are so incredibly happy to hear that your teaching program in the Philippines was such a rewarding and life-changing experience for you. It’s wonderful that you felt so welcomed by the families in San Remigio. We truly believe that the heart of our programs lies in those personal connections. We’ll be sure to pass your ""rockstar"" shout-out along to Janely, she is indeed a vital part of our team, and she’ll be thrilled to know she helped you step out of your comfort zone and achieve your goals.
Thank you for your hard work and for sharing your journey with us. We’d love to have you back in the field whenever you’re ready for your next adventure!
I had previous experience in Mexico…
I had previous experience in Mexico with this company so felt confident booking for the Galapagos Islands.
From being collected from the airport to being delivered back for the return flight I couldnt fault the staff or the company. I would however recommend completing all the online courses before leaving as your expectations must be in line with where you are going. Understanding local customs and way of life is vital for your enjoyment.
I have met some amazing people an im still in contact with a few special ones. The volunteering element though sometimes hard work (depending what you've signed up for of course) but there is loads of free time to explore this amazing planet of ours.
