Wonderful experience!

I loved my experience volunteering with a local family near Cusco, Peru! My host family was gracious and lovely, and the area was beautiful. It was a very unique experience! This was my second experience with IVHQ, my first was in 2019 teaching English in Romania. Both were wonderful experiences. The local programs and teams are super nice, supportive, and helpful. I would definitely recommend IVHQ to anyone looking for a volunteer experience abroad.
