I would highly recommend VWI - for those that seek adventure internationally, want to make a social impact, meet incredible people, get introduced to new cultures, and who simply just want to do something different. I had researched several digital nomad programs before deciding on VWI, but ultimately decided on VWI because of the non-profit program pairing and the flexibility of doing one month minimum at a time. I couldnโ€™t have been more happy with the decision to choose this program.

I actually decided to do two months - Medellin, Colombia in July and Lisbon, Portugal in August of 2018. Both were very awesome experiences and also very different - the volunteers, the cities, the culture, the languages, the activities were all new and exciting. Participating in pro-bono consulting work at two different socially conscious companies, making lifelong friends, learning personally and professionally, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone - all of this was very rewarding.

I am grateful for this experience and am so thankful for the VWI staff and volunteers for creating such a memorable journey that we shared together. Shoutout to Lindsay and Jess for their hard work, support, and positive energy!
