Here in a small fishing village on the coast of Brazil, nobody spoke English. I came here on a volunteer vacation. This was my first visit to a location where neither was English prevalent nor did I know the language.
I love my job, and I feel so lucky to be able to say that. There’s no doubt, it’s a fantastic personal experience to take part in a volunteer program abroad, and through my work I feel even more privileged to be involved in and stay connected to our partner projects and volunteers each and every day.
There’s one question that crops up with seemingly every new person I meet along my travels: What’s my favorite country? The simple answer, Nepal. Though there are several countries that have touched me, really it’s the people along the way who have impacted me the most; they have shared with me moments, view points and perspective and altered my perceptions of the world.
