If you are able to go, go!

I love to travel and I love to volunteer, so when this opportunity came up I was so excited. I would be able to travel and volunteer as an SLP (I just graduated right before going and didn't need any clinical hours :)). This experience is something I will never forget. I could have easily stayed another month in Bulgaria. The country was beautiful, but the people were what made this. Our guides were some of the best people I have met in my life and the people that we got to work with will always have a place in my heart. If you have the opportunity to do this trip, do it. I just got back and I am already thinking of going back (hopefully as a supervisor)! I felt safe, supported, cared for, and appreciated the whole time. We had people in our group from all different levels of becoming/being an SLP from undergrad students, to current grad students, recently graduated SLP's, and our supervisors. This trip is for anyone. Greece was fantastic too, but Bulgaria has my heart.
