Costa Rica is a vibrant country with plenty of travel and tourism opportunities for adventure seekers too! Very impressed by the staff, facilities, and overall atmosphere in-country. Everyone was very welcoming right from the start, and really contributed to the amazing time I had here even though it was so short. I will definitely be looking into doing this again in the future, and I will be telling everyone back home.
Thank you for making this experience very enjoyable.

For pre-medical students, there is a Medical Placement available where you are able to gain a first-hand insight into the operations of a foreign medical system, while shadowing fully-qualified local physicians.
What I liked about this experience was that there were so many different aspects to it. I really liked my placement, the bond we had as a group was great. We had some hard days, where the work was physically really challenging, those were some of the best days, because it forced the group to really come together.
Being in the house and practicing my Spanish with the family was a really exciting and inspiring experience for me. I had a really positive experience, for me being the first time traveling outside of the country, the fact that everything was really organized helped me out a lot.
Living in a beachside bugalow or tucked in a forest camp while making an impact on this paradise island is the adventure many are opting for this spring break. Overall I had a great experience, one that I am very happy happened and am very sad to be over!

Peru soon became my home away from home thanks to the other volunteers and the staff.
The other volunteers were like my family, and I take comfort in knowing that I have made friends from all corners of the Earth. My time in Peru helped me learn how to step out of my comfort zone, meet new people and help make a difference.

The program offers the perfect mix of culture, cuisine and meaningful volunteer work, so you can return home feeling like you helped make a difference.
This program places a great emphasis on taking part in everything Lisbon has to offer and volunteers have plenty of opportunities during their free time to explore the city together! Volunteering in Portugal was nothing less than amazing. From the moment I landed in Portugal and began my project, I was welcomed with absolute warmth and ease! Lisbon is a very colorful city from the buildings, food, the history, the laid back culture, the people, the many winding narrow streets are all so charming!
