With a Chinese Guardian statue outside of Wat Pho “It was beautiful and majestic. It is known for having a large statue of the reclining Buddha (I couldn’t get a good picture of it to do it justice). The first official Thai massage school started here as well.”
“My host family is very accommodating about my roommate and I’s vegetarian/vegan diet. They prepared this beautiful meal for us using plants from their garden.”
“At work I sat in on diabetes prevention patient counseling session. I really like how the nurse uses this BMI calculator. It is a great visual diagram for the patient to see how their weight and height are categorized for their health risk. “
“Bangkok’s rainy season has officially started. This is a view from a rooftop bar…you can see the rain moving in.”
“Visiting the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in Chiang Mai. My friend and I got to feed the elephants and make their favorite treats, take a mud bath and help bathe them. It was an incredible experience! I loved the elephants. I wanted to support a humane and ethical sanctuary. This one did not allow riding.”

World Endeavors believes that international travel has the power to change lives, broaden horizons, and deepen intercultural understanding. The world is undergoing rapid changes, with societies becoming more interconnected and environmentally aware; at the same time a more challenging global economy inspires in many a need to reach out and make a positive difference while seeking personal growth opportunities. There has never been a better time than now to travel abroad.
