Review

Lattitude Global Volunteering, gave me the opportunity to live in Fiji for 7 months, a country rich with beauty and love. I had the honour of living with a Fijian host family, who I still keep in contact with to this very day. I lived on an island, in the first ever capital of Fiji Levuka. My host family absorbed me into their family just like the cultured did. I had the pleasure of eating Fijian food, wearing Fijian clothes and learning parts of the language. I taught at Marist Convent School, where I was given responsibility and had complete strangers instil their trust in me. I taught 37 grade 4's alongside a Fijian teacher who adored and treasured our grade 4's, as if they were her own. Volunteering with Lattitude Global Volunteering allowed me to embark on a journey that has opened my mind and heart up to a completely new way of life. Taking a gap year and choosing to volunteer with Lattitude Global volunteering was the best decision I could have ever made, and to be able to experience what Lattitude has to offer at such a young age has most definitely set my life on a path that I know will bring many more exciting and treasurable moments.
