Nicaragua Thailand Brand New Be one of the first to explore the newest ILP programs Himalayas, India Paracas, Peru Warsaw Countryside, Poland Moving to the Dominican Republic for a few months with a bunch of strangers was the best decision I ever made. Mikaela , volunteer in the DR I somehow found myself backpacking across volcanoes in Nicaragua this past weekend…life can’t get much better than this. I’m high on life over here!! Livy , volunteer in Nicaragua Forever grateful for my 3 months in Costa Rica. One of the hardest but most rewarding things I’ve ever done. So grateful for the people I met, things I did, and places I saw. I will never forget this experience. Brinlee , volunteer in Costa Rica Every single day that goes by, I realize more and more how grateful I am to be here … I’m so proud of myself for making my dreams come true. Sarah , volunteer in Thailand The hardest part about Mexico was leaving Mexico. Saying goodbye to my kids was so hard but I’m thankful for this experience, the people I met, and the lessons I’ve learned. Grace , volunteer in Mexico If I’m being honest, about 95% of me signed up to travel and live in Thailand and about 5% of me actually wanted to teach the kids … I never realized how much I would end up loving these kids. Cambria , volunteer in Thailand Three months isn’t long enough! Raegan , volunteer in Ukraine One of the biggest reasons I wanted to do ILP was to meet new people and understand another culture better. I’m getting that and so much more here in Mexico. Kaitlin , volunteer in Mexico My experiences here have been so eye-opening. Ellie , volunteer in Romania When I first got here, I struggled with teaching! It is so so different here than it is in America and it was difficult to adjust to teaching kids a new language anyway. But I have grown to love my sweet students with my whole heart. Sophie , volunteer in the DR Living there for 4 months was the best thing I’ve ever done. Georgia , volunteer in Ukraine I could go on and on about how amazing being teacher Julia was but the best part was seeing these kids smile and laugh everyday without fail, I am going to miss this like crazy. Julia , volunteer in Thailand These kids have had more of an impact on my life than I could have ever imagined. I’ll forever be grateful for my time as teacha Bekah”.
