The Good People of this World-IVHQ Volunteer House

The German, the Englishman, the Canadian, the Australian, the French, and the countless Americans; no matter where on the globe we hailed from, we had countless similarities in ideals and lifestyles. The people I met on my trip coming from other parts of the world became consistently some of the best people I’ve met in…

Iguazú Falls: A Spiritual Adventure

Traveling away from the volunteer house on the weekends is the norm for most volunteers. A 22 hour bus ride from the volunteer house awaited one of the most surreal sights in the world.

I’m Going to Argentina?!

My trip to Mexico over Winter break really got me thinking. I so enjoyed speaking the language with the locals, learning about their day-to-day activities and hearing their life stories. When it was time to come back to the States I was a little more than disappointed. Not that I don’t love the US, I…
