International Volunteer HQ [IVHQ]

When arriving in Tanzania I was welcomed like I was part of their family. The coordinators and the team were amazing from the second they met me and were helpful through my whole experience. I was lucky to do a month at a daycare and a month at a school and it changed me in ways I never thought possible. The hardest part about my experience was having to leave the family I gained while over there.

i just turned 18 and wanted to do something fun. so i looked up places to volunteer, it’s easy to find friends and explore new things, but it’s also a cheap way to travel. so i found a website where you can go volunteering in buenos aires. and i’m telling you: buenos aires is one of my fav cities now, i loved everything about the project and the people were the best i’ve met. i’ve made so many new friends from all over the world in just a short time. i experienced so many different things and saw also places you’d never go if you’d be on vacation. the accommodation was great, the breakfast was really nice and our local coordinater was really kind and chill. it was the best time on life so far!! i learned a lot about myself and grew. and that’s why i’d recommend to go alone. so please go if you’re thinking about it!! you’re not gonna regret it, i’ll promise.

I felt very supported while in Fiji, I had no trouble finding where I needed to be. The local staff was amazing and even with Visa changing right before my trip I had guidance through each step of the process. We were well provided for, and I had a lot of fun meeting a ton of new people while there. As someone who has never really traveled outside of the US much, especially solo, I would highly recommend!
