I had a fantastic experience with Gotoco in Vietnam. The programme gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture while contributing in a meaningful way. I met people from different backgrounds, explored parts of Vietnam I might never have visited otherwise, and gained a much deeper understanding of daily life in the country.

The support from the organisers was helpful throughout the experience, and the balance between volunteering, cultural exchange and personal travel worked well for me. living and working alongside local communities made the experience fell authentic rather than just being a tourist.

One of the highlights was the friendship i made with both local people and other volunteers. the experience helped me build confidence, develop new skills and create memories that will stay with me for a long time.

I would recommend Gotoco to anyone looking for an affordable and rewarding way to travel, learn abut new culture and make a positive contribution while abroad

I had an incredible experience travelling to Thailand with Gotoco and couldn’t recommend them more highly. From start to finish, everything was so well organised—it really took the stress out of travelling.
The team were always on hand to support and guide me, which made a huge difference, especially being in a new country. They handled everything from travel arrangements to accommodation and food seamlessly, allowing me to fully focus on enjoying the experience. As a vegetarian, I was particularly impressed with how well they catered for my dietary needs—this was done thoughtfully and without any issues at all.
The work itself was genuinely rewarding and gave me a real sense of purpose during the trip. Alongside that, the organised activities were fun and gave us a great chance to explore and bond as a group. The people I met made the experience even more special—we had a great mix of personalities, and I built connections that made the trip even more memorable.
Overall, Gotoco created an experience that was not only enjoyable but also meaningful and well-supported from beginning to end. I would absolutely travel with them again!

Fantastic! Learning beyond learning. Just GO! People are lovely, welcoming & friendly. Food is great! So much heritage to see. Gotoco has changed me, I am the best version of myself! Built my confidence & Independence massively. The coordinator was hugely educated & knowledgeable, so very approachable, helpful and supportive. The teaching took me out of my comfort zone and showed me what I was capable of and stretched me more than I knew was possible. Sun, Sea & Sand! Sign up Now!

I would recommend this programme to a friend because it builds confidence, teaches valuable skills, encourages independence, creates unforgettable memories, and offers a supportive environment to grow personally and professionally.

Would highly recommend!

I completed my teaching experience abroad through Gotoco incuding touring scheme and it was genuinely life-changing. What sets Gotoco apart is that it is one of the few programmes that is uniquely well-funded, making international teaching accessible in a way that other providers simply don’t offer.

The support throughout was excellent, from placement preparation to cultural immersion, and the experience of teaching young children English abroad was both rewarding and professionally invaluable. I came back with real classroom confidence, a TEFL qualification in progress, and memories that will last a lifetime.

If you’re considering teaching abroad and want a programme that is well-organised, well-supported, and well-funded — Gotoco is absolutely the one to go with. Highly recommended!

My favourite part was the teaching, I was anxious on the first day, but that went by the second day. I thought I would be totally out of my depth but the support from Gotoco was amazing and I was well prepared which gave me more confidence. When working with the teachers on our last teaching day I expected this to be the hardest lesson, but I did a lot more planning and had lots of back-up ideas depending on the teachers language ability and this one went really successfully, which goes to show how vital it is to plan lessons in advance. The students were fantastic and it was a real pleasure supporting them in their learning and it helped me to understand teaching a foreign language and give me some more scope to understanding the TEFL training and actually putting it into practice.
We stayed in quite a small town which was in a rural area and it was not set up for tourists, in that there were few restaurants, no souvenirs and English signage, which made it really nice and a truly authentic taste of what life was like for local residents. I have not really experienced anything like this within my travels as most holiday destinations are geared up towards tourism. We got quite a lot of attention from the locals as they were not used to tourists which was interesting. Eating, going out and shopping like the locals was a fun experience, the food is amazing and I ate everything and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I have eaten in Thai restaurants before, but this authentic food from markets and in local restaurants and food establishments was a genuine experience of local food as apposed to English-Thai takeaway food.
I had an amazing time on excursions in Ayutthaya, Utahi Thani and Bangkok, organised by our group leaders and also some things I had organised myself. Every experience was something new and there are plenty of things to experience, from food and markets, to modes of transport and temples galore. We also had a boat trip and a morning where we hired bicycles which were things that I didn't know were factored in to our stay. I was amazed by the temples, each very individual and unique, I was in aw when entering some of the beautiful buildings and shocked by the size of the Buddha. The people take really good care of the temples, both old ruins and more modern temples and you can see people are proud to have these vast monuments and respect them and utilize them. It was nice to see Thai tourists as well as non-Thai tourists enjoying these splendors and taking time to appreciate their history and significance to local people.
I really enjoyed our brief but fun-filled time in Bangkok, so I had the opportunity to experience a quiet culture in Uthai Thani and well as the hustle bustle of busy Bangkok for our final days in the midst of the city in China Town. Once again, our group leaders used their experience and knowledge to pick and recommend delightful eateries and gave us the best opportunities to explore together as a group and well as individually to make the most of our time. I really enjoyed every minute of my time in Thailand, it was more than I could have ever expected.

I had a wonderful experience with Gotoco in Thailand. The programme provided excellent TEFL training, practical teaching experience and the opportunity to immerse myself in Thai culture.

Before joining, I was nervous about teaching, but the support from the trainers and staff helped me gain confidence quickly. Teaching local students was the highlight of the programme and gave me valuable real-world classroom experience.

I met amazing people from different countries, learned new skills and created memories that will stay with me for a lifetime. The 120-hour TEFL certification and hands-on teaching practice have been a great addition to my CV and future career opportunities.

I would highly recommend Gotoco to anyone looking for an adventure, cultural exchange and meaningful teaching experience abroad.

I would highly recommend this programme because it provides a unique opportunity to develop both personally and professionally while making a meaningful impact. The combination of teaching, cultural immersion, and working alongside people from different backgrounds creates an experience that is both rewarding and memorable.

The programme also demonstrated that I am willing to step outside my comfort zone, take on new challenges, and work effectively with people from diverse backgrounds. As someone currently working as a Health Advisor for the London Ambulance Service and aspiring to study Diagnostic Radiography, I feel this experience has strengthened both my personal development and my future career prospects.

I’m currently part of the Thailand cohort from 4 June 2026 to 18 June 2026 and I’m already loving every moment!
Even though the programme has only just begun!

The staff are fantastic; Morgan, Aaron, George, and Leyu have all been incredibly welcoming and supportive. You can genuinely tell they love what they do and I can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond to help me and the other students.

The other students also been amazing, creating a warm, friendly, and supportive atmosphere from day one, especially Max!

The programme has been very well planned so far and I’ve already learned so much about Thailand. I’m looking forward to the teaching sessions starting on Tuesday and will be sure to share more of my experience as the programme continues

UPDATE:

I’ve just finished the programme 🎉😭
Time flew 💨 so quickly! I’m quite gutted because I really enjoyed my stay there and now feel “home sick!”

Teaching was absolutely freaking amazing!!!
I probably enjoyed it more than the kids hahah 🤪 the kids did enjoy it too 😁

The kids and staff were a ⭐ you can tell the Thai teachers had passion for teaching.

Some improvements:
- Allow more Muslims to join in each cohort
- provide more opportunities for halal food
- Improve communication and time management.

Besides that, I really enjoyed my time there and I really
Hope to come back again!

my experience with gotoco was absolutely great! i recently attended their two week programme in thailand and the experience i had was like no other. the teaching was such a great learning experience and gained so many new skills from and we had plenty of free time to do what ever we wanted! As well as free time we had organised activities which made sure we saw really great places. Overall absolutely no complaints was such a great company and programme to be on.

I had an excellent experience with Further Afield and Gotoco in Thailand. The programme was well organised, the support from the coordinators was outstanding and the opportunity to teach English while experiencing Thai culture was incredibly rewarding. I particularly enjoyed working with the students, collaborating with other volunteers and developing my communication and leadership skills in a completely new environment. The cultural activities were also a highlight and helped me gain a deeper appreciation of Thailand. I would highly recommend the programme to anyone looking for personal growth, cultural immersion, and a meaningful international experience.

I was part of the 2 week Thai teaching experience from from the 15th April until the 30th April. It was an incredible once in a life time experience where we were able to visit parts of Thailand that you wouldn't usually go to if you were backpacking. The teaching aspect was very rewarding and all the different groups we taught were extremely grateful.

The experience helped me to feel more confident in myself and push me to do things outside of my comfort zone. Everyone involved did such a good job

I had an amazing experience teaching in Thailand and would highly recommend this programme. The placement was well organised, supportive, and a great balance of teaching and cultural immersion. Teaching the students was incredibly rewarding and helped build my confidence and teaching skills in a completely different environment.

A special thank you to Morgan and Jared, who were fantastic coordinators throughout the experience. They were friendly, supportive, and always quick to help with any questions, making the whole process feel smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.

I had a great experience with Gotoco and would highly recommend the programme. The team was supportive throughout the whole process and made everything feel well organised.

Teaching in Thailand was an unforgettable experience. I got to experience a new culture, meet amazing people, and make lifelong memories. Although it felt nerve-racking at first, everyone quickly became close friends.

The teaching was rewarding and helped me build confidence, communication, teamwork, and adaptability skills while pushing me out of my comfort zone.

A special thank you to Morgan for being so supportive and making the trip even more enjoyable with organised activities and trips.

Overall, it was an incredible opportunity that I’m very grateful for and would definitely recommend to future travellers.

An incredible fully immersive cultural experience from start to finish. An unforgettable educational process expertly brought together and run by a lovely set of people offering you full support throughout. If that wasn't enough, they also treat you to a whole host of local cultural cuisines, activities and visits to world heritage sites!

It was a great experience to be part of this programme. I’ve been to Spain for two weeks and they provided local transport from and to airport, food, accommodation for the whole programme period plus the two night in Madrid. There was a little bit of lacking in communication at som point which was amended along the run. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Incredible and amazing company and definitely not a scam like I originally thought hahaha. (Seemed to good to be true) I went out to Vietnam for 2 weeks and it was the most amazing time of my life. I’m actually quitting mu job and moving back out to Vietnam in 1 months time! Hahaha

Whether you’re considering teaching overseas or just want to try something new, I can’t recommend Gotoco enough. The whole process was pretty straightforward and made something that could feel quite daunting feel much more manageable. Overall, a great way to gain teaching experience while also travelling and meeting people from different backgrounds.

I had a really positive experience with GoToCo in Thailand. The programme helped build my confidence, especially through teaching in schools and stepping out of my comfort zone. I was nervous before going, but everyone was very welcoming and supportive.
I also enjoyed the cultural activities, visiting temples, and meeting new people. The local hosts were amazing and always made sure we were looked after. Overall, it was a memorable experience that helped me grow in confidence, and I would definitely recommend it to others.
