A Guide to Adventure Travel Abroad

What is adventure travel?

Adventure travel is a type of meaningful travel that revolves around exploration, whether that be the adrenaline-junkie type (like bungee jumping and hang-gliding) or the slower, more intentional type (like homestays and cultural immersion).

Typically speaking, adventure tourism activities include a physically challenging element, cultural exchange, and/or the opportunity to get up close and personal with Mother Nature herself.

Unforgetabble camp experience for our daughter

April 09, 2025by: Nilseane Silva - PortugalProgram: Smash Limits, Serve Confidence: Your Summer with PTI
10

Our daughter spent two weeks at the PTI summer camp in Austria; honestly, it was everything we hoped for and more. The location is stunning, surrounded by forests and lakes, and the atmosphere was peaceful and inspiring. It felt like a place where kids could breathe and be themselves. She came back glowing from the tennis (which she loved) and the overall experience. She talked nonstop about the forest laser games, kayaking, the campfire evenings, and even the ice baths! But what stood out was how much she grew. She’s more confident and independent and has even started using some of the mindset techniques she learned when dealing with school stress. The team was kind and attentive and cared deeply about every child’s experience. We felt supported from the start, and we communicated well throughout. It wasn’t just a fun summer but a real turning point for her. We couldn’t be happier.
