It was quite a powerful experience for our students to work alongside students within the community that were their age. Rustic helped our students step outside of their comfort zone and take a humble approach to service and culture. As an IB World School, taking action is a quality we try to instill within our students every day. To have them do this on a global scale was monumental. We look forward to planning our next trip!

Our welcome, our guides, our schedule, our visit to the village, our community service project, the people in the village, the food, the sights and history lessons, the language immersion, the mountains and adventure… It was incredibly well organized. Rustic Pathways is the best organization I have ever traveled with and I am very much looking forward to continuing our travels with Rustic in the future!
