What is your favorite travel memory?
My favorite travel memory is in Asia. I was backpacking in Vietnam and got immersed in a totally different culture, language, food, and landscape. It was super interesting interacting with not only Vietnamese but also tourists from all around the world. Getting to be understood and understanding them by using gestures rather than words was at the same time the hardest and most gratifying experience so far.
How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?
Being part of Serve the City has been a once in a lifetime experience. I’m getting immersed in the amazing NGO world, discovering new ways to interact and help the community where I am currently living. It's a very rewarding and challenging job as every day is different. You need to be very flexible and be able to think quickly when an issue arises. I'm very glad to have been given the opportunity to be part of such a proactive organization!
What is the best story you've heard from a return student?
Most of the students' feedback is positive as they feel that they not only grew spiritually but that they also turned into better people and more responsible human beings who are eager to help others no matter the nationality, skin color, accent, or mother tongue.
It is very rewarding hearing from them after their placement time is over. They come to us to tell funny stories and let us know how this experience has changed their way to see the world. They feel wiser and grateful.
If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?
Well, this is such a complex question. Every program destination has its own uniqueness as the projects are adapted to the cities’ needs and special requirements from the NGOs. However, if I had to choose, I'll definitely go for the cosmopolitan sunny Madrid – because where else can you find the sun shining 365 days a year?
What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?
We are a movement of people aiming to create a sense of community through serving the city by helping the underprivileged society. We are the nexus in between people willing to help and NGOs willing to be helped. Connecting human beings is our specialty, and I'm proud to be part of such an epic journey!
What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?
We are proud to say that our volunteer programs and internships were created to make things simple for our participants. We have everything prepared beforehand so we can offer the best ever lifetime experience abroad. It's the right combination in between feeling helpful and wandering around amazing cities full of history and cultural events ready for the volunteers to discover and enjoy.
