I really wanna do this but I have to go alone and I am afraid I won't make any friends and will feel lonely
I went by myself and it was amazing!! There’s plenty of other volunteers who also go by themselves so everyone is looking for friends!! I would highly highly recommend going, it will change your life!!
The same thing
you will have a great time! There’s plenty of people you’ll meet there and you’ll make new friends :)
How can I Sign up for this
@laureecewilsmann7441 you can apply through IVHQ’s website! www.volunteerhq.org/destinations/bali/turtle-conservation-in-nusa-penida/
Welcome to indonesia. Thankyou for doing such a good work for the world.
Thank you that’s so nice to hear :)) I loved volunteering, it was life changing !!
We went to Nusa Penida recently while we were in Indonesia! We had no idea this place existed, might have to go back now haha! Great video😊🙌
yes I love nusa and green lion!! volunteering there was a life changing experience!! I highly recommend it :)
I really enjoyed watching your video it's gives me that vibe I wanna be there, I Wish to got a experience like you did ❤️
You totally should!! Just apply on the volunteer hq website!! It was so so worth it, I highly recommend it!!
Hey ! So I got back from my trip here this week and have just watched your video back to now recognise everything! So cool to see and thankful on how well you prepared us ! The sanctuary is now covered in peoples names and drawings ( we struggled to find a spot ) which is amazing! Unfortunately all the big turtles you talk about have left but there were plenty of babies ! It was also soo much busier this year with over 100 volunteers, making us feel a little less needed but great to see that many people go !! Thanks for your video and help :)
oh wow that’s so many people!! That’s so amazing to hear that so many want to help out at such a wonderful place. I’m so glad I could help!!
Don’t forget to visit Timor Leste. There is sea turtle conservation and pretty view of beach
@user-vn6ys5wb6v yes I’ll look into it!! Thanks for the recommendation :)
So interesting to see what all goes into this experience, the baby turtles have my heart! 🥺🐢Such a beautiful place!!!
the baby turtles were absolutely my favorite and IVHQ is the best!!!
this looks like so much fun! the baby turtles look so cute!!
It was so so much fun!!! I highly recommend volunteering through IVHQ!!
@@sarahjeanne nice! I'll check it out! One question, were there a lot of young people on the trip? What was the age group? Like do you think the trip is good for college students/young adults?
Yes it’s mostly young adults and people in their twenties! Of course there’s people of all ages and everyone makes sure everyone feels included, but a majority are in their twenties
Can u share step by step how u did it ??
You should do a Q&A or FAQ video about International Volunteer HQ. I have so many questions. But my first one is, do representatives of IVHQ come and stay with you guys?
I totally will film an ivhq q&a!! That’s a good idea :) there are ivhq coordinators who help run the program and the house you’re staying in and stay on or near the area!
It’s a wonderful country to help each other and live together.
I love Indonesia!! I had a wonderful time and met so many amazing people :))
I’ve been researching IVHQ lately because I’m interested in volunteering and traveling but I’ve been skeptical to travel alone and also you have to pay on the website a fee, from what I’ve read anyways. Great video! Very informative and insightful!
What was the fee to go to Bali?
i highly recommend bali or nusa penida with ivhq!! I traveled alone and had no problems, the coordinators are wonderful people and super helpful!!
I think the fee was around $300 when I went? It kind of counts as a deposit so they know you’re serious about going
Begadang 😁
🫶🏼✨
Were you able to pick up any sea turtles like the hawksbill green or hatchlings🤔❤❤❤❤❤👍
Yes we were!! We had to move the adult ones and the babies from their tanks in order to clean them and the tanks so we got very comfortable with holding them!!
Hey!! I have a couple questions about IVHQ, is it safe for younger people to go? I want to go right out of high school but I wasn't sure if other people my age would be doing this trip and if it's overall a safe option. I was also wondering, do your coordinators drive you around? or do you kind of have to "fend for yourself"?
I highly recommend doing this at any age!! Some of my best friends I got out of volunteering were 17/18 and they fit in perfectly. Totally safe. I never felt unsafe the whole time. You can get your own taxis but oftentimes you can just tell your coordinators where you want to go and when and they will find a taxi driver for you, just let them know a day beforehand
Heyy - leaving for Bali in the morning for the turtle conservation!! Just wondering what scuba diving trip you did and how much it cost ? Would love to do something like that ! xx
We did it through Blue Corner Dive in Nusa Penida!! I don’t remember how much it cost but it wasn’t that expensive! We did have to pay with cash though which is pretty normal in Bali.
HELLO SARAH I am so happy to saw your video and your positive energy ; Iwanna about this IVQH is it free 100% and i love youbecausse you be brave
Aww thank you!! IVHQ is not free but it can definitely be a lot cheaper than some other options! It includes all accommodation and all meals, and potentially pick up and drop off at the airport! The coordinators also helped us plan any activities we wanted to do, which was super helpful! And of course the most important part is getting to volunteer for such an amazing cause. It’s definitely worth it!
Hey, do you know if you can participate in a two week round trip all around Bali before/after the volunteer work?
A trip on your own? You can show up to the volunteer house whenever you sign up and then you can stay in Bali if you want!
Hi! Have you taken Introduction Week? Is it mandatory?
Yes I took the intro week! It’s not mandatory but I would highly rec
Would you have done longer or did you think the 2 weeks was perfect?
I totally could’ve gone longer! It just depends how much time off you have to be able to volunteer. I wouldn’t go any less than two weeks for sure 🫶🏼
First😁😄
how many days you are in bali always take good care of yourself Let's go to 1000 subs
haha thank you!! I was in bali for three weeks!!
@@sarahjeanne hope you enjoy it I always look forward to your videos
Aww that’s so nice to hear!!
Hi! I’m going to be doing the turtle conservation project in a couple weeks! When did you go?
I went in June! It was an amazing experience
That’s awesome to hear!! I saw that there were so many fellow volunteers with you! I am hoping for the same since I’ll be there in the off season 🤞
There’s always some people going! You definitely won’t be by yourself :)
Hi! In February???
I went in june though I’m sure there’s people going in February! Lmk if you have any questions :)
Did you get the regular room or the upgraded room?😊
I just got the regular room! The upgraded room is just one person or one couple in a room :)
hi! did you go by yourself? or with some friends?
I went by myself!! But there’s always plenty of other people to make friends with and then you can travel together!
Do you have a HQ, where you sleep, and leave luggage and valuables?
Yes! There’s a volunteer center which is basically like a hostel where we keep everything!
i thought someone was in my kitchen with the noise athe beginng lol
ahahahhaha 🫶🏼
Did you have to get divers training?
We just had a session in a pool with the scuba gear the day before we went, but we didn’t have to get certified!
What are you using to record?
I just used my iPhone 13! Pretty good quality and much easier to transport :)
Awesome vlog how u got this job ??
I just applied online at internationalvolunteerhq.com !! Super easy and there’s lots of volunteer options!
@@sarahjeanne hey it's not working
Try volunteerhq.org
@@sarahjeanne do u know any cheap way to volunteer work in foreign countries it's registration fee is Pakistani 93000 rupees big amount for me 😭😢
I know world packers let’s you work all over the world and they’ll give you accommodation!
Is there any place away from worldly affairs where there is an atmosphere of peace, where there are mountains, greenery all around, flowing waterfalls, where the heart gets peace, where introspection can be done, where there is solitude, where one can do yoga, where one can experience heaven, where one can work as a volunteer? You can stay for as many days as you want, where you can live without money, where you can stay away from depression. If there is such a place, then I want to go there for some time or for the whole life. I want to stay away from the noise of the world. Is there anyone there? such a place😢
Wow that sounds so wonderful! I don’t know about without money but Bali had everything else!!
@@sarahjeanne Not everyone is as lucky as you. There are some people who forget to live life. Come on, stay happy. Mahadev bless you.
@dj.dharmesh_ it’s so good to be grateful for the things you have 🫶🏼
hi ! it's a lovely adventure !! i would like to do the same thing, can you tell me the link of the official website from this center please ? :))) i would like to register myself for volunteering directly, without going through another organization but I can't find it.. thank you very much for your help! :)
I don’t know if you can volunteer without going through International Volunteer HQ?? Everyone I met there went through IVHQ. That link is: www.volunteerhq.org/destinations/bali/turtle-conservation-in-nusa-penida/
but the volunteer house is through Green Lion Bali so maybe that will help?
@@sarahjeanne thank you very much for your answer !! i will check that ;)
anytime :)
Hi!! In which month did you go?
I went in late May/June! Are you going to be volunteering in Bali??
I want to do this volunteering caring for turtles. Where can I connect through Worldpackers with the hosts?
This is actually through international volunteer hq! The host is green lion Bali but you apply on the ivhq website :)
Hello Sarah, thank you so much for answering me. I have the application to Worldpackers, but I have not found a place to care for turtles. In which city did you do this volunteering?
@rubyelenagrajalesmontoya2285 the turtles was in Nusa Penida but the main volunteer site is in Ubud. But this volunteering isn’t through Worldpackers it’s through International Volunteer HQ so I don’t think you’re going to find it on Worldpackers
Thank you so much Sarah. Maybe I can register at the International Volunteer HQ.
@@sarahjeanne❤
Hi sara, how do i sign up to volunteer? Can u please let me know of a safe and legitimate way? Thanks
Just go through the ivhq website!! That’s how I applied and it’s super trustworthy
Thanks Sara😊
Of course!!
If I want to apply as a Pakistani how I can apply ??
It’s no different than applying if you’re from anywhere else! Just go to volunteerhq.com and figure out which program you want to apply for!
Hi, would you recommend this company?
Yes I totally would!! The coordinators at the volunteer sites really make sure you’re taken care of and it’s an amazing environment to work in!!
How much price for membership??
It depends how long you go! The longer you stay the cheaper it is
Im 16 and wanna volunteer so I got permission and everything but do you think I will find friends there and can do stuff there with 16 or not?
If you feel comfortable going at 16 yes you will! There’s definitely a lot of younger adults (like 18-21) and I know some teenagers/families might go as well!
@@sarahjeannethanks for the answer do you maybe know if I need a visa for 2 weeks or not?
@user-oy4pb4tx8i if you’re only in Bali/Indonesia for two weeks, you can just get a visa on arrival when you go through customs! It’s super easy, but definitely check out any requirements based on your home country in case they’ve changed anything 🤗
How much did you pay for this
How to apply for volunteer mam
Just visit the internationalvolunteerhq.com website!! They have so many programs from all over the world
Was scuba driving free?
No it wasn’t included in volunteering! There’s a scuba facility down the road so the instructor there took us!
@@sarahjeanne where is your next tourist destination i want start travelling like you?
How did you contact them if you needed help or had a question? Was it through messages? Email? Or smt like WhatsApp?
Yes I believe I contacted IVHQ through email if I had questions!
@@sarahjeanne thank you
how to become a volunteer in bali?
This was through International Volunteer HQ! You apply on their website and it pretty much walks you through everything you need to do!!
this seems very scary
it wasn’t scary at all!! Anxiety definitely had me thinking it would be but it was so so much fun!!
@@sarahjeanne thats good i have wanted to do this for years love turtles and caring for animals
@kblundell16 it’s so worth it and you definitely should!!
😌 Promo_SM
🤙🏼🌊✨
Hi Sarah, I text you on Instagram 😅
@@omanasimbizi yes!
I really wanna do this but I have to go alone and I am afraid I won't make any friends and will feel lonely
I went alone and I made so many friends! Most people go alone so everyone is super friendly and inclusive! As long as you’re friendly everyone else will be friendly to you!!
