A confidence boosting first solo travel experience 😊

I had an amazing time in Barcelona and met some lovely people both through the volunteering and the organisation of the trip! The communication beforehand was really great and I felt comfortable and welcomed before I’d even arrived; it has definitely changed the way I look at my future😁 Best wishes to everybody on the team and those who are looking to take part as well, I would recommend this experience to anyone, it can be a scary thought at first but is such a confidence booster!! Thank you❤️

Short but fulfilling week in Barcelona!

While I only stayed for one week, I had an amazing time in Barcelona. The coordinators are extremely helpful and always contactable, and make sure you’re set up well at the hostel and with public transport in the first couple days. Looking after the cats each day was an amazing experience, no matter how what task I was given. Would definitely come back!
