Experience of a lifetime!

Volunteering with IVHQ was one of the most memorable experiences in my life. I was so nervous prior to the program but they were so supportive along the way and made sure that you never felt alone. Especially throughout the program, they made sure you were always comfortable and secure with your surroundings and activities. This is the most reliable program organization and I especially recommend it to anyone who has never volunteered overseas before. It is an amazing program to meet new people since you are staying in a hostel as well, you will be meeting people from outside your program, for example, other travelers from different countries traveling by themselves or with volunteer groups as well. You get to as well explore the area which you are staying in.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The first day we were on Fitzroy Island it was raining and cold. We got in the water to start practicing snorkeling before completing the surveys. I was so nervous because I haven't snorkeled in a while and due to the wind and rain it was making it even harder. I look down for a second and I see a sea turtle, from that moment, I was so calm and forgot how cold and rainy it was, it was like being in another world.
