I really enjoyed the classes, they were interesting and varied and tailored to our needs. The tutors were brilliant. I learned a lot. (more)Andrew Edwards
We thoroughly enjoyed it all. Each part was a different type of experience - new,
challenging, and engaging. Ana and her team made the Spanish learning fun and
rewarding, as did Natalia with the yoga. And the scenery and area were stunning.

Ten out of ten. We felt very well looked after at all times, the walking was a challenge but there was no rush. Nepal is such a beautiful country and the people have very little but are so very happy and friendly. (more)Maggie Medhurst
Most memorable: Meeting the local villagers who were maintaining the guest houses and finding out about their daily lives. Walking between the villages so that we could see the different landscapes in the mid hills of Nepal. (more)Anna Smith

Patient and attentive teachers made lessons interesting and fun. It was really great to be in such a small group to be able to ask questions and get the opportunity to practise. (more)Mandy Kee
Great. Class time just flew by and the study was actually fun. I was a novice hiker and found the hikes to be challenging, but worth the effort. I really value the friendships I made with others participating in the program. (more)Mark Hindin

Memorable parts?
The diving, the hostel and the volunteers. We went diving every day from Tuesday to Friday. The diving instructors were super nice, made us feel very comfortable and were great teachers. The hostel was in a good state and served really nice food. On top of everything the other volunteers at the hostel were great and it was easy to get to know people (and that's usually not at all easy for me) because most of us were there with the same motive - to volunteer on one of the...

So many aspects of the trip were memorable, even life changing -- it is hard to choose just one... Working closely with the women and children in the projects was an incredible opportunity to connect with and learn about realities outside our own world. Truly life-changing. (more)Shirley Redpath
This was a volunteering holiday so that whole premise was fantastic. I'd never done that before and it felt fabulous to be really doing something even though on holidays.

Memorable parts?
The most memorable part was probably walking around the busy streets of areas like Accra Old Town, Osu and the centres of Cape Coast and Elmina. There is always something to look at amongst the crowds and you feel safe and are not unduly bothered. Particularly enjoyable was a visit to a local high-life band’s concert in Cape Coast. And we were very interested in a couple of meetings we had with academics about Ghanaian culture and history.

Being in Kerala was the first totally wonderful thing! I loved the buzz of life in and around Fort Kochi while we were working at the women's project, and equally enjoyed a beautiful short trip to the more peaceful hills and plantations around Munnar. (more)Isobel Barnden

I missed Kerala when I got home … the colours, the gentle polite Keralan people, the beautiful friendly children, the interesting Volunteers, the warm weather, the beautiful sunsets, the food, and Gina’s lovely Keralan breakfasts and lunches at the volunteers’ house.
