📍 Participant Highlight | Thailand 🇹🇭
“There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t think about my month interning in Thailand. Travelling alone for the first time was both exciting and challenging - I felt homesick and out of my comfort zone.
Leaning on the Think Pacific community and building connections with fellow volunteers and locals quickly made Thailand feel like home. I also grew in confidence, learning to speak up, share my thoughts, and trust my perspective.
I left with more than memories - I gained lasting friendships, cultural awareness, and a completely new way of seeing the world.”
🌄 Highlight: Hiking the three-hour Monks trail up Doi Suthep, reaching the summit, and watching the city of Chiang Mai glow beneath me at sunset.
✨ In three words: Transformative. Grounding. Empowering.
