Great experience for senior woman traveling alone

March 02, 2026by: Pamela Flynn - United States

Program: Worlds #1 Volunteer Programs. 40+ Countries from $20/day!

10

IVHQ was very easy to work with, from start to finish. As a senior woman traveling alone, I felt well taken care of. They picked me up from the airport, and transported me to my homestay. I stayed with a lovely family, and felt very safe and welcomed in their home. I was shown how to get to my job at a school teaching English, and they checked on me several times throughout the week. Their office was centrally located in downtown, open 7 days a week, and was a meeting point for other volunteers. After two weeks, I was picked up from my homestay and taken to the airport. I never felt more taken care of in all my life! Thank you IVHQ!!

My IVHQ Morocco Experience: Confidence in Childcare

February 25, 2026by: Ludwig Fisch - Canada

Program: Volunteer in Childcare in Morocco

10

IVHQ offered me all the support I needed for the build up to my trip. Any questions or concerns I might have had about my particular program were answered promptly and with great detail. Everything about my program was laid out perfectly and I felt incredibly confident at the start date of my program. Will 1000% be doing another project through them! Visiting Morocco was a new experience to me and I have never felt safer and more capable of my abilities than with IVHQ. I highly recommend anyone considering the programs offered by the company to register. It is an experience like no other!

Wildlife Conservation Volunteer

Program: Best South Africa Wildlife Conservation Volunteer Program

I stayed at Rusermi River Lodge in Balule Reserve in South Africa. I had an amazing trip, met some great people from around the world. The manager and guides were all experts and taught us so much about the local wildlife, tracking, birds, local ecology and culture. Highly recommended!!

I love to travel and, specifically traveling abroad, as a way to broaden my cultural awareness. As I am usually traveling with friends or family, I was looking for a location that would make a good, first solo trip and opportunity to challenge myself socially, as well.
