Last week I had was an amazing adventure in Croatia with a group of friends. We stayed in log cabins. We had a great time doing all the activities offered, from canoeing and cycling to kayaking and white water rafting. We also had time to relax, sunbathe and swim in the river. I even had the opportunity to make new friends! It was a really life-changing experience I will never forget. Travelling with Teen Travellers was the best decision I have ever made.

My cousin Peter and I went to Wales last year. We travelled by train because it’s much better for the environment and we stayed at the Belan Bluebells Camping site (when camping, you consume less water and eletricity than at home).
