Vietnam, Danang
"This experience was so lifechanging for me. I’ve never experienced something so meaningfull and I loved living amongst the locals and learning so much about the language and culture. It was incredible to work in an organisation like this: they’re doing something SO good for the people here and I admire everyone working here so much. The people here really feel like family and the house feels like a home. I can’t recommend this experience enough."

Ecuador, Punta Tortuga Wildlife Conservation Station
"This was truly an amazing experience for me! The hosts made me feel very safe, and you could always ask them anything. They help you make the most of this experience while learning you so much. The activities we did were so cool! I feel honoured that I could be part of this project. It was absolutely worth it!"

Bolivia, Kaiwai Permaculture
"Im so grateful for my experience at Kaiwai working as an intern on the Bolivian Watershed Restoration Project. I learned so much about how permaculture practices can work to increase access to water, and enjoyed working with Simon on this. The farm was so nice and there were always other volunteers there; as an intern, I was able to focus more on water than the daily farm chores, but still felt like a part of the group. I appreciate Simon and Jes’s flexibility and kindness. Highly recommend!"
