The experience was amazing, I couldn't ask for more. I started to look at life from a different prospective: there are people less fortunate than me and I am lad I could be a part of this process to help them even if it was not that big. After this, I want to take part in more of these projects.

I loved getting to know the staff at ImpactTrip as well as the other volunteers. The hostel and food was very nice. It was great to get to know the Portuguese through volunteering and my project was amazing. I learned so much about it’s operation and hope to spread it.

My experience with ImpacTrip in Portugal was everything I could have hoped for and more. The people, living arrangement, food, activities and volunteer placement were amazing. I would recommend this program to anyone who is looking to volunteer and travel abroad and truly have the opportunity to be immersed in the culture.
