i’m 17 and i recently completed a project on shark conservation - i learnt so much doing that project about so many marine animals and it’s just accelerated my want to go volunteer like this! after seeing this i can declare i have officially started saving up for it lol
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!!
@@sarahjneve 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
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 :)
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!
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!!
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!
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
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.
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
It’s through International Volunteer HQ! They have a ton of different programs all over the world and this one looked amazing! It’s in Nusa Penida in Bali, Indonesia. I highly recommend it!!
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
Most people went alone! I did as well and it was so worth it. Everyone is looking to make friends so don’t be worried about that! And there are people of all ages - everyone is really inclusive!
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!
@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 🤗
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😢
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?
i’m 17 and i recently completed a project on shark conservation - i learnt so much doing that project about so many marine animals and it’s just accelerated my want to go volunteer like this! after seeing this i can declare i have officially started saving up for it lol
yay that’s so exciting!! there’s so many amazing volunteer opportunities all over the place that I want to try, so you should absolutely do this!
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/

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!!
Amazing! Btw.. what's that green smoke at 10:45/?
I think that’s just the flame’s reflection in the camera lens!
@@sarahjneve oh I see lol. I thought about that later 🤡
@dreameralora oh haha that’s all good! It does look kinda weird
@@sarahjneve and then there was this dude that came from behind the tree right after, and he looked kinda invisible at the start. 🤡

There’s always some people going! You definitely won’t be by yourself :)
Hi! In February???

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!

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!
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 🫶🏼
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! Have you taken Introduction Week? Is it mandatory?
Yes I took the intro week! It’s not mandatory but I would highly rec

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!
@@sarahjnevethanks 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 🤗
