Volunteer in Construction and Renovation in Bali

I spent 4 months in Bali as a volunteer on a construction project, where we built a daycare center for the local community. Working on-site taught me teamwork, resilience, and the joy of seeing something take shape with my own hands. Beyond the project, Bali itself was unforgettable — the landscapes, traditions, and warmth of the people made every day special. I had the chance to immerse myself in the culture, enjoy the vibrant energy of the island, and create memories that I will carry with me forever.

This summer I had the amazing opportunity to be a part of the Construction and Renovation Volunteer Project in Bali and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. Starting from the staff, they were all very supportive and willing to provide all the help needed since day one. It felt like a family, and every week we had the opportunity to meet new volunteers and exchange experiences from other volunteer programs in Bali. This was my first time volunteering as a solo traveler and it was the best decision to do it in Bali. Experiencing Bali from the local's perspective was by far the highlight of this trip.

Volunteering abroad to a new country, with a completely different culture, seem very challenging and risky, but it is definitely one of the best decisions I have taken in my life. My volunteer experience in Ubud, Bali, with IVHQ, was an awesome journey. It gave me the opportunity to visit a beautiful city, while immersing myself in its culture. During the construction and renovation program, I felt useful because I was actually contributing to the enhancement of other people's lives. Finally, volunteering allowed me to develop long-lasting friendships with amazing people from all over the world.
