  • The trekking was very pleasant as it was an introductory grade and supported by porters and sirdars, camping bases and the most delicious meals – ranging from traditional cuisine to westernised foods when you were feeling homesick – prepared by cooks that travel with you. You only carry a day bag on your trek and you won’t go hungry. My Alternative Schoolies to Nepal was a transformational trip of a lifetime that I whole heartedly recommend to all. - Indigo Axford, Alternative Schoolies participant in #Nepal.

  • In December 2018, I was lucky enough to journey on one of the most amazing alternative schoolies adventures to Nepal run by World Youth Adventures. There was no better way to conclude a year of hard assessments and exams that entailed my final year of schooling than getting out into the world, experiencing something entirely new and completely different – like trekking in the Himalayas and visiting rural communities – which made this trip so special and unique. - Indigo Axford, recent school leaver on Alternative Schoolies to Nepal.

  • Unlike its name, Iceland is actually not full of ice! Full of waterfalls, volcanoes, hot springs, forests and of course, glaciers, it’s a popular destination for schools looking to immerse their students in nature and take part in a digital detox that will sharpen their minds when they return to class. #schooltravel #travelgivegrow

  • Have you heard of Annapurna, Everest's cousin? It may not be as tall as Everest but never underestimate Annapurna. It's the 10th highest mountain in the world and was the first 8,000-meter peak climbed without supplemental oxygen. The trek known as the Annapurna Circuit, is becoming one of the most popular high-altitude treks in Nepal.

  • The Kokoda Track is located in Papua New Guinea and has a dark history. Hikers from all over the world have flown here to retrace the steps of the World War 2 troops who fought against the Japanese for months. Along the track, you will see relics of the war and push your limits going up and down mountainous areas, crossing makeshift bridges and more. . 📷: Ken Harris . #humacharitychallenge #trekking #nature #kokoda #png

  • A massive thanks to these students who have finished building a traditional Khmer house in Cambodia in a week. This service learning program is part of our effort to help the United Nations achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The sturdy houses provide shelter and security for Cambodian families living in need. Poor education, lack of skills and a shortage of jobs mean many rural Cambodians are still living in extreme poverty with inadequate shelter. To ensure the houses are livable, we employ three builders, who lead the construction and guide the students. After its completion, a social worker assesses the houses periodically over 2 years to help ensure the houses are in good condition and determine if the family needs any other help. . #ServiceLearning #StudentDevelopment #GlobalCitizens #TravelGiveGrow

  • #FunFactFriday: Venture to Machu Picchu, the iconic lost city of Peru, that's so remote even the Spaniards didn't find it. It rests on a mountain ridge 2.4 kilometres above sea level but what makes it really unbelievable is that the entire city was built by hand in the 1400s when most people today struggle to walk up a flight of stairs. It's breathtaking to witness such incredible human capability. . 📷: Michael Croft
