    A special volunteer trip in Lisbon, Portugal — one of the most beautiful regions in the world! 

     

     

    Q. Please tell us your satisfaction with the projectPlease let us know. If you are satisfied, what did you like?


    A. 10/10


    #1 Because the volunteer hours were 7–10 PM,I could have plenty of free time during the day..

    #2The volunteer schedule could be adjusted flexiblywhich was possible.

    (I wanted to travel to Spain, so I requested a day off on the third week''s Friday and was able to go.)

    Originally the volunteer hours were 7–10 PM,but because it overlapped with mealtimes, it was adjusted to 6–9 PM for activities.)

    #3You can get close to volunteers from around the worldwhich is a plus.

    #4Lisbon was very relaxed and beautiful,and it was safe for an East Asian woman to travel alone.

    (Though I think it might be dangerous to be alone too late at night.)

    #5The local staff and Gap Year staff who valued my opinions and showed interest!!

     

     

     

    Q. Would you recommend this project?

     

    A.10points/10 points

     

    I was able to fully experience overseas volunteering, travel, relaxed personal time, and Portugal,

    making foreign friends, and improvement in English conversation skills(I can''t say it improved dramatically, but my confidence when talking with foreigners increased.)

     

     


    Q. What changes have happened to me after participating in this project?


    #1 In Korea I was overwhelmed by studying and it was tough, but here...I feel more relaxed and have become a more positive and cheerful person than before. 
    #2 I gained confidence in speaking English! My conversational skills haven''t improved dramatically, but at least...I no longer feel any fear when talking with foreigners. 
    #3 From now on...I gained the belief that I can handle things well on my own.! I walked around many parts of Lisbon alone, went on a trip to Spain,
    I even did volunteer work and gained the confidence that there''s nothing I can''t do by myself!!!
    #4 I wasn''t shy to begin with, but even less shy than before,I''ve become even less reserved and can get along comfortably with people I meet for the first time. 

     

    Q. Do you have any final words you''d like to say?

     

    Because I had great experiences that wouldn''t have been possible without taking a gap year,

    I want to participate in another special project that is only offered here!I want to take part once again in a different special project!

    I want to thank the person who always replied to my emails ㅜㅜ

    From when I applied for the program through my participation, I had many worries and often voiced complaints,

    Thank you for always supporting me and kindly answering my questions ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ I''m sorry for bothering you ㅜㅜ

    Thanks to you, I was able to complete my gap year safely and had a wonderful experience and time!!!!!
