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!

Great volunteering experience with room for improvement

I volunteered with ImpacTrip in Barcelona in the Community Support / Homeless Program, and overall, it was a really meaningful and positive experience. I loved meeting volunteers from so many different countries — the atmosphere was super open, friendly, and international. The coordinators were always supportive, kind, and well-organized, which made everything run smoothly. The volunteering itself was eye-opening and felt impactful, especially the daily interactions with the people we supported. The only downside for me was the accommodation: the hostel we stayed in was quite far from the city center, which sometimes made it a bit inconvenient. Still, the overall experience was definitely worth it, and I’m glad I chose this program. I learned a lot, met amazing people, and would recommend ImpacTrip to anyone looking for a meaningful way to volunteer abroad.

A Great Way to Give Back

I ended up staying in the program for a week. I loved working with the cats and the people there, who were all really sweet. The program coordinator makes sure you get there the first day and is always responsive to and questions you have. Overall, I would 100% go back!

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.
