“It was a fantastic trip to Fairfield: Everyone on the team was so awesome … Dave and Thane are the best, most knowledgeable, easy-going teachers we could possibly ask for. This trip was everything I’d hoped for and more. I’m already telling everyone I know about it. I can’t wait until my next AiP adventure!!”

“I had the most incredible experience working in Gjirokastra, it really opened my eyes and gave me the confidence to know that I can in fact pursue the type of work I want to be doing. Knowing that these opportunities are out there and being able to make contacts would not have been possible without AiP. People need to know how amazing you and AiP are!”

“Our technical advisor, Eland, was amazing. He kept a hand on all the work, and provided a lot of one-on-one tutoring on technique. He didn't seem fazed in the least that he was working with a bunch of serious amateurs, and had his own sort of fearless approach to the bridge challenges that was inspirational.”

“I was handed my diploma and walked off with a newly minted Masters graduate… having no idea what I was supposed to do next. The short time I interned with AiP has already given me skills and experiences that I can take forward. Everyone who volunteers with AiP has a knowledge and passion for heritage that I am excited to be a part of.”

“My trip to Armenia was the most unique thing I’ve ever done. It gave me a new perspective on the world. Gyumri is a cultural and historic gem and desperately needs to be preserved. The people are as passionate about their community as they are generous and kind. I am so grateful Adventures in Preservation has seen the opportunities in Gyumri. I would go again in a heartbeat.”
