Reviews & Testimonials Abroad Escape.

"Volunteering with Abroad Escape was the best trip and the best experience of my life. Full stop. I did not expect to say that before I left — but that is exactly how I feel having come back."

Name: Michael
Program: Volunteer program in Vietnam

"The teaching program was a great experience. The children I worked with were smart, enthusiastic, and genuinely willing to learn — which made every session rewarding. The structure of the program meant I knew what I was doing each day, which made it easy to focus entirely on the work."

"Joining the program in Fiji was one of the best decisions I have made. Wonderful destination, well-organised placement, and an experience I would recommend to anyone considering it."

"I joined in Thailand and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Well organised, a good group of fellow volunteers, and a placement that felt genuinely worthwhile. I would go back."

Name: Ladina
Program: Volunteer placement, Thailand

"The volunteering was mind-expanding and deeply rewarding. The local people are the friendliest I have encountered anywhere in the world. That alone would make it worth doing — the work on top of that made it something I will carry with me for a long time."

Name: Lynn
Program: Community placement in Vietnam

"The program was well run and the support from the coordinator was wonderful throughout. These were the best two weeks I have had in a long time — I felt genuinely helpful, and genuinely part of the program rather than an observer.

I enjoyed every single minute of it. Thank you."

Name: Annelies
Program: Two-week placement teaching in Thailand

"The coordinator provided excellent information — about the local culture, the people we were working with, and the surrounding area. She gave me information about places to visit and was extremely helpful throughout, going above and beyond what I expected.

During my introduction week I was fully immersed in Balinese culture. The food was freshly prepared by local people every day and was always delicious. The accommodation was brilliant. I arrived not knowing what to expect and left feeling like I had genuinely been part of something."

Name: Victoria
Program: Culture and community placement, Bali

"My experience in Nepal was positive in many ways. The staff are great people who are genuinely fun to work with, from the first day to the last. It was fascinating to live among them and experience their lifestyle and traditions directly — not as a tourist, but as someone who was actually there working alongside them.

In three weeks with Abroad Escape I learned and experienced so many things I will never forget. Thank you for making this a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
