Plan My Gap Year (PMGY) Arvostelua 5 571

I spent two weeks in Sri Lanka attending the turtle conservation. I had the most amazing time! I was a little worried about arriving but PMGY were so helpful with the airport transport. I made friends immediately and all the staff are so so so lovely! Throughout the week you are able to attend multiple activities (I really recommend the cooking course!). I also did the safari trip which was absolutely incredibly and I saw so many different animals. PMGY were so helpful with booking the whole thing. I personally loved how you would volunteer in the morning and then have the afternoon to explore and go to new places. I honestly have made friends for life and I couldn’t recommend PMGY enough.

Had the best time ever with the nicest staff! Everybody was so helpfull, it made me always feel very safe. Thankyou PMGY!

Me and my friend had the best time with pmgy! We chose to do turtle project in Sri Lanka and teaching project in Vietnam . We where soo happy with all the help pmgy gave us, this made us feal very safe during the volunteerwork. Thankyou pmgy!

I really enjoyed my trip to South Africa with Plan My Gap Year.
At the Wildlife sanctuary in Sudbury I made amazing friends and had a great time during the well planned activities. The communication has always been easy, the food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) was great, the accommodation was cozy and clean and the staff has always been understanding.
Especially the weekend trips have bee great to get to know the other volunteers and it has been great that a transport has been provided by the reserve.

I spent 2 months volunteering with PMGY in Vietnam, Cambodia and Bali. Each location offered a truly unique and unforgettable experience. All of the staff at each location were so friendly and accommodating, their kindness and commitment made the experience so enjoyable. I chose the childcare projects in both Vietnam and Cambodia and it was such an amazing experience to be in an environment where there is so much enthusiasm from the children, the volunteers and the staff. And I chose the wildlife project in Bali which offered a completely different but also valuable experience. Additionally I am so grateful for all the time I spent with the other volunteers, I’ve made so many memories I will never forget. This was such a positive experience and I couldn’t recommend it more!

My 19 year old daughter has just completed the 12 weeks Africa programme spending 1 month in each of Ghana, Tanzania and South Africa. She had a fantastic experience. PMGY were so thorough, organised and reassuring at all stages - they gave excellent info in advance of booking and helped organise the flights. The pre departure information is very comprehensive. I felt my daughter was looked after but also had room for independence throughout - I would not hesitate to recommend this company for gap year adventures.

Really a good experience. Even before you arrive you are well prepared, and can get help with various things, just as you can get help when you arrive. The accommodation was nice, with what you needed. I was in the turtle program where we spent half the time doing beach cleaning and half the time feeding turtles. In addition, the food on site was extremely good.

Enjoyed every moment of my trip
It was everything I wanted and more
People were so friendly and welcoming
Food and accommodation excellent and spotless
Would recommend to anyone of any age I am 65 and did not feel left out or out of place once

I went to Tanzania with PMGY. They have good pre departure support with a volunteer handbook which gave the best information on things to pack, look forward to and an overall heads up. The in country support was phenomenal, it was really organised and if i wasn’t feeling well the support was amazing. in terms of ensuring i get the care i need! I worked for the medical programme and this involved going to the hospital and observing/ taking part in some things they wanted us to do. Advice i could give to future volunteers is to enjoy yourself and just know the support is there if you ask for it!

I spent 3 weeks with PMGY Vietnam and I really enjoyed it. All of the local team were so kind and welcoming. I initially started doing the teaching programme but switched to childcare - I loved it. I was put with children age 4 - 6. Each day, we would teach them English and play with them.
The accommodation and meals were very nice and I met some lovely people. During the weekends we were free to travel together and in the evenings, we could explore Hanoi.
Both the local and international PMGY team were always happy to answer any questions and made sure we had everything we needed. I also thought that the pre-departure support and handbook were very helpful.
After the 3 weeks, I spent 1 month traveling Vietnam solo (first time solo travelling) and the programme was a great way to get to know the country. By the end of my time volunteering, I was comfortable using public transport, understood the currency and had lots of advice on where to travel. I had also made friends on the programme that I met up with during my trip.
Overall, this was an amazing experience that I would really recommend to everyone!

I had the opportunity to travel for several weeks with Plan My Gap Year, who accompanied me throughout, and I must say that I am extremely satisfied.
Their support is provided from beginning to end, remaining available for any problems or needs.

Wonderful experience, had a lot of fun throughout all of it. Team was very supportive before leaving to ensure all my questions were answered. Within country local staff were excellent and also answered all questions promptly. Volunteer house was really fun, clean and open environment. Host families were all lovely and incredibly nice, good food as well. My program was a great mix of countries and volunteering while allowing for a lot of Spanish speaking and listening practice. Really enjoyed English teaching volunteer program in Ecuador. Advice for future participants is just to be super friendly and open to any connections and be open minded and willing to speak spanish even if you're not super good at it.

I did the childcare and teaching programme in Arusha, Tanzania for 6 weeks. Had a great experience overall and found 6 weeks to be the perfect length of time to go as allowed time for a weekend safari and trip to Zanzibar while I was there. Great support was given via email before arrival, helped to arrange flights and provide reassurance surrounding different aspects. The PMGY team at the house were so lovely and supportive, making the accommodation a great place to stay. The volunteering was a wonderful experience and will be missed!

Volunteering with PMGY in Sri Lanka was a lot of fun! It was a really good experience with a lot of nice and helpful people. The Staff Members are really lovely and even before getting there, they‘re here for you to answer any question you might have. They organized a pick-up and offered help for anything else you could need. During my stay there I met amazing people which made the projects even better. You get to work in the morning and have the afternoon free to do whatever you please. They offer nice activities too! The projects themselves were a lot of fun too. The turtle project is nice if you like a calm and rather relaxing project. You get to feed the turtles and even release them if you‘re lucky. The dog project was amazing aswell, the little puppies are the cutest. It‘s a bit exhausting with the heat and all, but it‘s manageable. The accomodation was nice, with enough space to hang out and chill. Sometimes you just have to wait quiet some time for a shower though. Piece of advice: Go for a few weeks and try different projects! Try to see as much as you can and join the weekend trips.

The program and the locals were amazing. A very unique experience!

Meine Volunteer Zeit war wirklich großartig! Ich habe so viele neue nette Leute kennen gelernt und wir hatten wirklich eine so tolle Zeit! Ich kann es jedem nur empfehlen, weil es wirklich eine Zeit war die ich nie vergessen werde.
Das einzige was ich etwas schade fand, dass ich nicht das Gefühl hatte etwas zu bewirken. Ob wir volunteers jetzt dort waren oder nicht hat quasi keinen unterschied gemacht.
Aber ich habe trotzdem so viel über andere Kulturen gelernt und habe Erfahrungen machen dürfen du mir keiner mehr nehmen kann :)

I loved my experience at Plan My Gap Year Bali - Indonesia. The family that we stayed with was lovely, so kind and nice. The kids was lovely working with and it was such an experience.

A was a volunteer in Tanzania for three weeks and I had the best time! The coordinators at pmgy Tanzania were amazing. They help you with everything from hospital visits to tips about the city. I really recommend it!

The plan my gap year Real Nepal experience truely changed my life and in just the 4 weeks I felt myself grow as a person. Asim and Namrata were so welcoming and really made you feel at home. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Yubaraj! He really took us on a great adventure showinging us the real side of Nepal and always answered any questions I had. A highlight of the trip was definitely the volunteering segment. It was a great honour to spend two weeks living in the monastery and I hope we all had an impact on the Kids. I hope to have more adventures with PMGY

Es war eine wirklich tolle Reise mit super netten Menschen, vielen neuen Erfahrungen und alle wollten für einen nur das Beste
