Travelling for the first time with IVHQ!

Travelling has never been something that peaked my interest but when I heard of IVHQ and all the different opportunities I chose to step outside my comfort zone and volunteer with their program in Lisbon, Portugal.

Fantastic from start to finish

My experience on the Lisbon Youth Support Program was incredible. The placement was enjoyable and impactful. The accommodation was friendly, well run and felt like a home away from home (with excellent food!). The support network from the moment I applied to me sat in my kitchen now has been thorough and melted away any nerves throughout this journey. The people I met were from every corner of the globe and we have already organised to meet once more. In short, I cannot wait to go back!

I spent three amazing weeks in Portugal and I would totally recommend it to everyone. The local team was amazing and I've met so many wonderful persons that made this trip unforgettable. You get to know so many personalities for all over the world which makes it so interesting. Lisbon is just beautiful and there is so much to see and to do. Many beaches are close, castels and beautiful viewpoints. I recommend a daytrip to Sintra which is like a fairytale. And I even went to Porto for a weekend...
