Every year we send thousands of people overseas on volunteer projects and internships in the developing world. We think our projects are great, but you shouldn’t just take our word for it!
Read through hundreds of reviews and testimonials from Projects Abroad volunteers in order to find the best project for you. Find out what they had to say about their experiences after completing one or more of our volunteer projects or internships overseas.
If you ever want to speak to someone who has been away with us to find out what it’s really like, please get in touch with us. We can connect you to a member of our Alumni Network and you can speak to someone who’s been there and done it!

Sea Turtle Conservation in Mexico
From waking up to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach every morning; to seeing the sun set over the ocean every evening, every second spent there was incredible.

Africa’s Big 5 and Wilderness Conservation in Botswana
I decided on the Conservation project in South Africa/Botswana because the idea of working in such a secluded and animal-orientated environment was a very exciting prospect for me.

Africa’s Big 5 and Wilderness Conservation in Botswana
I am extremely proud to have been part of a group that helped to remove a whopping 47 snares in one anti-poaching activity. Knowing it may prevent another animal suffering like this makes me feel like we achieved something.

Volunteering with Wildlife in Botswana for Teenagers
I loved actively helping out and removing the fences that were harming animals and blocking their migratory paths. It felt like I was really making a difference!

Giraffe & Lion Conservation in Kenya
De-snaring was the most popular activity among the volunteers because you see the results of your work straight away. The snares can leave nasty injuries on the animals so it is our job to remove them.

Conservation Volunteer Work in Kenya for Teenagers
I decided to volunteer in Kenya as I wished to see how animals live in their own natural habitat, not just how they acted in a zoo, which led me to the Conservation Project. The High School Special suited me as my summer holiday could only be so long and it allowed me to have a glimpse at what Africa could offer.

Visiting Africa was a dream of mine for my whole life. I remember watching nature documentaries as a child and being enchanted by the variety of animals and habitats in the world.

Volunteer Archaeology in Romania
I'd spent two years of college learning the theory of archaeology and seeing the end results in museums and in class, but now I got to fully experience the physical work of what I'd learnt all about. The feeling was amazing. I find myself randomly just wanting to shovel and dig all the time now!

Volunteer Archaeology in Romania
Suddenly, something else caught my eye. It wasn’t flat or orange or sharp. It was a human tooth, a molar with roots attached. After days of picking up pottery shards, this was a real find!
