TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST TRUE NATURE/SOCIETY TRIPS

This experience brought me closer to my own heart than I have ever felt. Being with such humble, happy people has given me the ability to increase my faith in humanity and myself. I am forever changed in the most positive way.  This experience has had an everlasting imprint on my memory and my soul.
-Jacquelin Knox

This trip was amazing and inspirational. I’ve never been so close with nature. They help you enjoy what nature has to offer yet showing the importance of taking care of the nature around us. All of this while being able to have fun and to step out of your normal boundaries and be more adventurous. The best part, however, was engaging with the community and the children. That made this trip the most worthwhile.
-Tyler Garrett

This trip is awesome. It gives you the opportunity to become more independent and see the world. After going on this trip, I feel like I have the courage to study abroad in the future. Without this trip, I feel like I would never have found my adventurous spirit. Thank you True Nature and The National Society of Leadership and Success.
-Molly Stalons
