Sustainable Agriculture Volunteer Abroad in Nepal

I have a few favorite moments, but I really enjoyed my time in Chitwan handling and caring for the Buffalo. I've never worked with livestock before, and it was a tough and thrilling experience. There were six Buffalo and I helped clean their pens and feed them. Another favorite moment was cultivating a few gardens in Pokhara and having to chase off monkeys. I have never experienced anything like that. That was also a tough and thrilling experience! The biggest impact that this volunteer trip had on me was that it helped provide me with a deeper sense of independence. I've traveled alone throughout the U.S.A a few times, but I've never traveled alone internationally. It was extremely empowering, and I am very grateful that I was able to gain more knowledge about myself and traveling abroad. Making yourself uncomfortable is the best way to grow and experience life, so travel as much as you can and to make a difference in the world while doing it. You won't regret it and you will feel extremely fulfilled.

Scotia was very helpful. The local team were very organized and helped us with anything we needed. The ability to explore Nepal and all of its great excursions was great: zip lining, safari and helicopter tour of Everest. Meeting the home stay family and starting out as guests and ending up as part of the family was the biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me. It is a wonderful experience especially if you go somewhere out of your comfort zone!
