Volunteering three weeks in Barcelona
January 27, 2026by: Julia Tamayo - MexicoProgram: Community Support in Barcelona
I volunteered three weeks in Barcelona and it was truly an eye opening experience. I got to step outside of my comfort zone and experience day to day life with other volunteers and I got to meet incredible people in both of the places that I volunteered. I was two weeks volunteering at the communal showers and another week in the communal cafeteria where I got to talk to really cool and inspiring individuals. The only downside that I saw was that since the hostel is quite far away it took me a while to get to the center of the city and it was inconvenient at times. Other than that the coordinators were incredible and super understanding and I learned a lot from them too!
Amazing time

I had a great time food waste voulenteering in Barcelona. The team at ImpacTrip were all super friendly and very helpful every step of the way. My friend and I felt really involved with the team at Fundacion Tochete and we're very hands on from day 1. I'll definitely look to volunteer with ImpacTrip again!
Short but fulfilling week in Barcelona!
December 07, 2025by: Luca Chiavaroli - AustraliaProgram: Animal Care 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!

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I always enjoyed being a volunteer from a young age. I like the feeling of being useful and using my time in a profitable way. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to be involved in several volunteer projects the past years and I felt like it was time now to be in the background of the action, therefore it was an amazing surprise that this position was open and that I had the opportunity to join the team.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I first heard about ImpacTrip when a friend of mine told me that Rita was planning to return to Portugal and launch this company; we had all been studying at the same college in Lisboa, NOVA School of Business and Economics. I always had the willingness to perform a role with a positive social and environmental impact, given that I had been a volunteer for many years and that I had focused my master’s in management in social enterprise.
