I wanted to update you about my project and homestay experience! I just finished my Wildlife Project in Florida. I just wanted to let you know that my stay at my homestay family was beyond perfect. I felt so welcome at their house from the first second on and I must say that they are the most caring and loving people I've ever met. They did everything to make me happy! They drove me around and to the volunteering program daily, They always asked what we wanted to eat and bought it immediately or even took us to the store where I could pick whatever I wanted. Also, they took me out to eat serveral times and payed for it. Their efforts go far beyond what they have to do and I really appreciate it. I even could stay three days longer! Also, the rooms where the interns stay are really nice and I really felt like being at home.
Working at the wildlife rehab center was so much fun. Everybody was so nice and appreciated my work and was thankful for every helping hand. I learned a lot about animals and the Florida wildlife, mostly from my superivor!
I can highly recommend this host family and project to anybody :)! Thanks Fronteering!

What would you improve about this program?

My stay was perfect

volunteering program wildlife rehab Florida

An ideal holiday for me is full of active pastime, for example, swimming, playing volleyball, visiting new attractions, etc. My parents know how much I like beach holiday, that’s why every summer we go somewhere hot.

Last year we visited Italy . It was our first time in this beautiful and hospitable country. The Adriatic Sea was fantastic and the sun was gentle. Several times we went out to the fashionable restaurants to try local dishes. Italian cuisine is delicious. It involves lots of fresh vegetables, fruit, seafood and olive oil. I spent lots of time swimming, sunbathing and playing active beach games. For a change we decided to visit some local sights. First of all we visited the Venezian opera in the center of the city . It’s one of most beautiful ancient temples of Italy and the most visited tourist attraction. We also visited a Church in Giudecca iceland , which is famous for its dramatic views and stunning sunsets. All in all, it was a great vacation. I hope that we will go there again sometimes.

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

Patrick van de Velde, the Founder of Fronteering, started the organization to assist individuals and causes in the less visited places and last frontiers. Through this passion, he hopes to preserve the last wild places of this world.

What is your favorite travel memory?

Wow, there are so many!

My favorite memory from my more distant past would be traveling with my father and uncle when I was quite young. We were camping in the Serengeti in Tanzania. During the night, our camp was overrun by carnivorous driver ants.

A more recent favorite memory would be traveling to the Pantanal. Our pilot decided to dive and started to fly through the river just a few meters above the water.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Being involved with so many different volunteers and host organizations from so many different countries has changed me and I have grown in many ways.

Mostly in how I perceive and understand the world. I have also gained a greater understanding of who I am as a person.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would probably participate in one of our programs with Amerindian communities in the Guyanese Amazon rainforest. I try to visit once a year or so and it is just one of the most beautiful places in the world and the people are just so amazing! Not to mention, it's also one of the best places in the world to watch wildlife and fish!

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

Something that makes Fronteering unique is the countries we focus on.

I am especially proud of how our team was able to set up our programs in Guyana. The remoteness of Guyana and the fact that the country still does not get any real tourism made it quite a challenge.

From having a meeting with tribal elders to cars breaking down in the middle of nowhere, seven-hour boat trips due to lack of water in the rivers, and riding bull carts. It was quite the challenge! The result is, however, that we have the most amazing programs set up in Guyana, and participants can make a real difference!

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Fronteering focuses on different locations and programs than most other organizations. From volunteering as a dogsled handler in the Canadian Arctic to helping Amerindian communities in the Guyanese Amazon. We prefer to work in unique and more isolated locations and I believe this has made us stand out and be successful.
