Our son, age 18, went to Vietnam (4 weeks) and Cambodia (3 weeks) with the Projects Abroad Gap Year Program in Fall 2025, for part of his gap year between high school and college. As a parent, I was very impressed and reassured by how quickly and clearly the Projects Abroad staff (specifically Riyaad Herman, who also met with us by zoom) responded to my (many) questions before the trip. The myprojectsabroad.com interface was very thorough and helpful with regards to travel arrangements, itinerary, etc etc. As for the trip itself, it was a small group, he had an incredible time and raved about not just the food, the learning, and experiences, but also the in-country guide Vinh (for Vietnam) and how much he learned about history, politics etc which are very interesting to him. I had the sense that the participants had a pretty good balance between organized activities but also had a chance to be on their own in some of the days and evenings, which I think was good for learning about international travel and independence. From his description and photos I think the accommodations were above par as well. He also was glad he added the Cambodia portion: Cambodia was more different from Vietnam than he expected and thinking about what and why that is led to some interesting insights. He loved the food, the beaches, Angor Wat, and pretty much every experience in both countries. I would really recommend this gap year program, I just wish they offered it for my age group....
