Community Development – Nepal

Travelteer Nepal Community development

Jun 16, 2023

I went as a part of my university's Turing program mostly just looking for a unique experience to have over my second year of university summer, even though I spent very little of my own money on the holiday I was still blown away by my experience. Nepal was quite intense for the first few days however i pushed through the initial shock with the help of the staff member Ed (who was fantastic) and ended up loving Nepal so much I'm already planning on returning to Nepal next summer with travelteer as an end of graduation gift.

Pros
  • As an anxious person the staff were great at making me feel at home and involved in the group
  • The tour was absolutely insane especially Chitwan
  • Pokhara was absolutely was beautiful and full of stuff to do
Cons
  • Don't be fooled by the snow capped mountains Nepal is hot!!!

Medical Elective – Sri Lanka

Valuable Experience

Jun 15, 2023

Volunteered and shadowed medical professionals. Was very insightful and learned a lot. Would suggest if you want to help you stand out when applying for jobs, has been a fun conversation starter for me,, Was well organised and staff were helpful!. Highly recommend - once in a lifetime opportunity. People I volunteered with were as enthusiastic as me to learn more and to grow personal experience.

Overall would recommend Travelteer if you want to get some experience that makes you stand out and is fun to talk to others about! Lei.

Pros
  • Organised

Can't wait to return (we love turtles!)

Jun 15, 2023

Travelled to Sri Lanka with Travelteer and it was amazing!!! I have made lifelong friends with other volunteers and we are planning our next trip back - roll on 2024!!

Working so closely with the turtles was truly a touching experience. After we helped a group get better we set them free into the sea and I felt happy that I had been able to make a difference.

I can't wait to return to Sri Lanka and try out the other programmes - I do however believe that the turtle programme will always be my favourite :)

Pros
  • Turtles!
  • Life long friends
  • Friendly people

Life changing experience !

Jun 15, 2023

I have just come back from travelteer project in Sri Lanka and it was the best experience of my life the staff were friendly especially the coordinator. The camp was well maintained in a stunning location and I really felt the impact i was making which was important as a previous experience volunteering it felt pointless and almost like a scam.
I was apprehensive about going at first as i didn't want a repeat of last time but i can whole heartedly recommend travelteer for anyone interested in volunteering!
