An unforgettable experience!

August 13, 2018by: Michael Eshak - CanadaProgram: Volunteer on Wolf Conservation in Portugal with IVHQ

The experience was a complete novel voyage to another country that I have never been to before. Meeting so many new people was a very enjoyable experience, after all I am a super extrovert! The country's climate was colder than expected which allowed us to work more often. The tasks were difficult but nothing too unreasonable. Learning a new language was also very engaging and getting laughed at when saying things wrong was also entertaining! Overall, I would definitely recommend this program to someone who has even already been to Portugal just because there is a genuine need to help the wolves and help increase awareness in general!

Volunteers on this project should be aware that they will not have any direct contact with the wolves.
