Epic Trips
Want to combine a Service Learning Trip and an Engaged Education Trip? We call that an Epic Trip!
This thrilling program allows travelers to experience once-in-a-lifetime destinations like Machu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands, and Mount Kilimanjaro, while also giving back to local communities with a week of volunteering.
Deepen your understanding of your destination
Get the best of both worlds by combining a week of Service Learning with a week-long Engaged Education Trip – MEDLIFE’s educational travel experiences that allow you to delve deeper and truly connect with local culture and history.
A trip to Peru would be incomplete without witnessing Machu Picchu and you can’t visit Tanzania without experiencing an African safari. With an Epic Trip, you can do both! And you can do so while continuing to support MEDLIFE partner communities and traveling sustainably.
