The longest trip will give you travel memories and experiences you won't soon forget.

South-East Asia entices with nature, people, culture quite different from what we are used to. In advance of the trip, we will prepare enough so that we are familiar with the cultures and geography we will encounter. On this trip, we will focus on aid. We visit a small poor village in Laos, where we help build a school, live and eat with the locals and, not least, play with the local children.

One of our goals with the trip is to visit places where we come into close contact with the culture and the people. We visit well-known places in both Thailand and Laos, but we seek even more to reach out to areas that are lesser known, and which will give us experiences that we would not otherwise have the opportunity to have. Laos is a country that, until very recently, has been very closed and unknown to the Western world. This will be one of the major highlights of the Ticket to Ride course.

During and after the trip, we work with film and photography to document the experiences we have had and experiences made.

At Hurdal Verk Folk High School we have welcomed international students for more than 40 years. We know what it takes to help you succeed and feel at home.
