Who says education can’t be fun? At Friendship Tours World Travel (FTWT), we understand that the most important learning goes on outside of the classroom. That’s why we’ve handcrafted unique adventures that explore South East Asia’s diverse beauty through educational and volunteer opportunities. Join us this summer on a trip through Vietnam and explore Saigon’s urban chaos, float down the lazy coils of the Mekong and climb dazzling fog-woven mountains. With FTWT, educational travel transcends ordinary tourism, by actively engaging with Vietnam’s living history and vibrant culture. This summer, receive college credit and apply your education to the world around you as you discover Vietnam’s natural beauty, history and the consequences of war, while giving back to the community through personalized volunteer projects.
Come live, learn and travel with us this summer in Vietnam!
