I gained lots of skills in my time in Lombok. I gained confidence in travelling in a new country as solo female traveler, had the best time working with the turtles and met people from all over the world. If you are considering an IVHQ trip, do it!

What recent volunteers said about their IVHQ experience
I feel I have made an impact, travelled a beautiful place, and made some amazing friends on this journey.
Having volunteered abroad once before with another company, I was impressed with the detail and depth of information IVHQ provided, I wish I had been with them my first time.
I enjoyed doing my project in Lombok as I was able to be immersed into a very different culture then what I am used to. having the villa in the village allowed volunteers to become acquainted with the neighbors and truly experience the kindness of the people around us. If someone is hesitant to join, I would recommend they jump right in, as the support system is incredible, particularly the local team, who despite being complete strangers 2 weeks ago, immediately made me feel welcome and a part of their volunteer family. It can be scary going in not knowing what to expect, but volunteers are truly supported for all their needs.
