This June, students from an all-girls school in New York City joined us in Peru’s Sacred Valley for a transformative journey focused on sustainability, cultural immersion, and girls’ empowerment.

Together, they stepped beyond the classroom and into a world of living history, Indigenous wisdom, breathtaking mountain landscapes, and vibrant communities. They hiked ancient trails, learned from local artisans and community members, explored the rich history of the Andes, and experienced a way of life rooted in connection—to the earth, to one another, and to the generations that came before.

Through shared experiences and meaningful conversations, they discovered the power of slowing down, being present, and seeing the world through a different lens.

At GOGI Abroad, we believe in going outward to grow inward. Travel challenges us to expand our perspectives while deepening our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.

Their journey culminated at Machu Picchu, a powerful reminder of human ingenuity, resilience, and our connection to the past. They returned home with new friendships, greater confidence, and memories—and lessons—that will stay with them long after the journey ended.

Some of the most important lessons aren’t taught in a classroom—they’re lived.

For many years, GOGI Abroad and Fit Body Boot Camp of Westminster have shared a love for adventure, community, and the transformative power of the Camino.

This weekend, we gathered with alumni from two of our Camino journeys for a wonderful reunion filled with laughter, stories, and memories from the trail. It was such a joy to reconnect and reflect on the friendships, growth, and experiences that continue long after the walk is over.

And we may have let a little secret slip… 👣✨

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be returning to Spain and Portugal for the Portuguese Camino in September 2027!

More details will be coming soon, but for now, we’re simply grateful for this incredible community and the many journeys still ahead.

Buen Camino! ❤️

We are honored to welcome an incredible all-girls school from New York to Peru for a journey of empowerment, sustainability, and cultural exchange. Together, we will learn from Indigenous wisdom keepers, explore the Sacred Valley, engage with the Q’ewar Project, discover the beauty and meaning of traditional Andean textile arts, and deepen our connection to the earth. Through shared experiences, meaningful conversations, and cross-cultural learning, these young women will explore what it means to lead with courage, curiosity, compassion, and purpose. 🌿✨

Fifteen years ago, one of our students traveled with us to Ecuador as a teenager—immersing himself in a new culture, learning Spanish, and gaining firsthand experience with sustainability, community, and a different way of life.

Today, he is becoming a doctor, and he still speaks about how that journey shaped him. He shared that the experience deepened his empathy, broadened his understanding of people and cultures, and continues to influence the way he hopes to care for others.

This is why we believe so deeply in experiential education, cultural immersion, and sustainability. The seeds planted through travel, connection, and learning can continue growing for a lifetime. 🌎✨

At GOGI Abroad, we believe there is hope.

Hope for a new paradigm to emerge — one that transforms how we care for our planet’s natural resources, and how we relate to one another across borders, cultures, and ways of life. Through experiential education, cultural immersion, and meaningful human connection, we believe educators can help guide the next generation toward a more compassionate and sustainable future.

Honored to join fellow educators and changemakers for conversations around climate action, connection, and global citizenship.

Students don’t just learn about sustainability.

They practice it.

From permaculture farms in Ecuador

to traditional agriculture in the Andes —

Education becomes embodied.

This is the future of experiential learning.
