TESTIMONIALS
  • “Being part of a conservation project volunteer has allowed me to take much more away from another country than simply having a holiday. Providing a rich sense of understanding appreciation of the land, its people & environment. Awesome. Thank you!”
    Claire Dunn, University of Western Australia
  • My entire ISV experience was absolutely amazing, something that will be with me forever. I love the great friends I have made and also everything I've learnt about conservation and eco-friendly tourism. It will definitely influence my future travels in a positive way and encourage me to make more attempts to reduce my impact on the environment. Finally ISV has opened my mind to a life of endless learning about different cultures and countries. Truly an unforgettable experience.
    Lisa Thompson, Flinders University, Thailand
  • You cannot understand life changing  experience  until  you  do  an ISV  program; learning  and experiencing  a new way  of life  and new people also shows you  what you learn  about yourself.

  • What a ride!! Expect the unexpected in Thailand and enjoy it while it lasts. An amazing opportunity to travel and really immerse yourself in the local community while also contributing to the place you're in a positive way.
