It’s National Tree Week! 🌳
We’re proud to be partnered with TreeApp, helping plant trees in the UK, Tanzania and Madagascar and today we hit a little milestone of our own…

🌱 1,122 trees planted, part of TreeApp’s 6 million+ trees worldwide!

Travel will always have an impact but we’re committed to doing what we can to give back, restore ecosystems and support the places that make our trips so special.

More trees. More impact. More reasons to keep going.

This year, B Corp turns 10 in the UK, and we’re celebrating what it means to be part of this incredible movement.
Back in 2016, we became the first certified B Corp in the education travel sector and we’ve kept raising the bar ever since.

Our latest score of 120.8 reflects the work we’ve done to keep improving how we support people, protect the planet, and run a business with purpose.

Being a B Corp means holding ourselves accountable, every trip, every partnership, every decision. It’s about showing that travel can change the world for good. 🌿
Here’s to the next 10 years of and every business proving that purpose and profit can go hand in hand. 💚

Turn your adventure into a qualification 🎓

You can now earn a UK Level 3 Diploma in International Volunteering, quality-assured by CGCS and it’s worth 16 UCAS points (plus US credit options).

Just complete 3 short online modules before you go, write a few reflections while volunteering, and submit your final presentation after your trip.

It’s all online, flexible, and fully supported designed to fit around your adventure and show off the leadership, teamwork, and global skills you’ve gained.

Your experience deserves to be recognised.

Your DofE Gold residential doesn’t have to be ordinary 🌍

In Greece, you could be snorkelling alongside sea turtles and collecting real conservation data on some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.

In Romania, camera traps capture wild bears and bison roaming through the Carpathian Mountains while you help protect their forest home. 🌲🐻

It’s adventure with purpose, a chance to explore, learn, and make a difference (and yes, it still counts toward your DofE 👀).

So where would you choose? Greece or Romania?

This one’s just for teachers.

Next year we’re running a unique CPD adventure in Romania’s Carpathian Mountains. It’s a chance to:

- Experience a project first-hand before bringing students
- Connect with like-minded educators
- Gain practical skills in Europe’s last true wilderness

Think of it as a recce, a professional development opportunity, and an adventure all in one.

Would you join us?

Start with something easy. 7pm on October 22nd for an online launch meeting.

Our website has had a refresh!

You might have already had a look, but if not, here's what's new:
- Itineraries are now grouped by secondary schools and colleges
- Navigation is simpler and clearer
- A brand new 'design your own adventure' feature has been added

It's still us, just a little easier to use.

That’s a wrap on this season 🌿

But the impact? That’s just the beginning.
Over the next few months, we’re bringing you stories from the field, the projects, the people and the moments that made this year one of our most powerful yet.

We are also taking the chance to enter in the ABTOT one shot competition to showcase our amazing destinations and programmes by entering favourite photos of our tours. In order of viewing:

Landscape and landmarks - From our campsite in the Carpathian Mountains, students wake to views like this on our Romania project, one of Europe’s most untouched destinations.

Cities, buildings, and accommodation - Flying back into London after one of our adventures, we’re reminded of just how connected we all are to this one incredible planet.

Wildlife and birding - On our first recce to Uganda, the team experienced something truly unforgettable, coming face to face with wild mountain gorillas for the very first time. This curious baby, peering out from the forest canopy, is part of one of the world’s most endangered species.

People and culture - Meet Pines, one of the dedicated rangers we work alongside in South Africa. With his deep knowledge of the land, he guides students through the art of tracking and sign interpretation, leading them towards their CyberTracker qualification. But more than skills, Pines shares wisdom about conservation, resilience, and the importance of protecting our planet.
