From the Po valley of Northern Italy to the peaks of Bavaria, this program will give you a deeper appreciation of the variety of European culture in just two weeks. Spend the first week in the Northern Italy Adventure program and visit iconic Italian cities, eat amazing food, and work on a local environmental conservation project. Relax at the comfortable base house and play around the pool with new friends during your downtime. Then, you’re off to Munich and Bavaria to join the Germany & Austria: Alpine Adventure program. You’ll hike and raft among the Alps. Be prepared for stunning views and mouthwatering food to keep you fueled up for each adventure.
You’ll leave the program with tired muscles and a bundle of amazing memories and photographs of the adventure you have completed!
I believe RP offers a unique opportunity to learn and interact with people and places that I would have never been able to experience. I think that going on one Rustic trip, no matter the location or specific program, can change someone’s life and outlook on the world. It did exactly that for me and I can’t thank the organization enough. I want to spread the word to others about the important work that RP does in its various locations and how a simple 2 weeks or less can really make an impact on someones life.

Traveling through Italy and Germany offers a chance to see two countries with different histories and ways of life. You’ll experience local traditions, connect with people, and gain a better understanding of how each culture has shaped its communities and daily life.
