Sri Lanka sports volunteering and tour

I was in Sri Lanka for four weeks doing the tour and then sports development program. The tour was jam-packed and incredible, with Camila making it so enjoyable. The volunteering was excellent, we got to visit different schools twice a day and teach them P.E. Vish ran this and was so energetic - he made the experience so much fun. Overall a great month, made truly epic by the amazing staff that shape the volunteering.

It was an experience.

It was an experience, there was a lot of things that i enjoyed about the volunteering and the house. You meet a lot of interesting people and you get to experience the foundation of the healthcare industry in Sri Lanka. However there were a few cons aswell the volunteering is nothing like what is advertised to you before you come, there a so many pointless rules that you have to follow in the house (e.g a curfew of 10:30 pm), and a some of the coordinators are not very understanding. My coordinators for mental health was awful and I really feel like travelteer would benefit if they looked into get someone else with more experience. They were many coordinators in the house that were also great like camaila, dinki and the manger ruchi, they made an effect and tried to make the experience as enjoyable for everyone in the house. Overall it was an experience and I meet amazing people and felt like I did something, I will never forget it. I still would recommend travelteer but I would advise that you also look for other places aswell something with a bit more structure/organised.

I quit my job and went for it

I quit my job and went for it; abroad I spend my time. To Sri Lanka I go, With Travelteer, to tour the land. The flow Expertly run by Camila, Dora (to those who know). We'd call the explorer To help us keep all entertained. She'd know Where to go everyday, help us when low We'd feel. In all, of her we were in awe. The marine programme was for me, the sea: Anoma's land. The turtles in their tanks, Unclean, we helped divest their dust. Their thanks They gave to volunteers, the beach we cleared Up too. The time I had I would repeat, So I say go for it and book your seat! Also, honourable shout out to Bernie for being amazing!

You have to experience Nepal!

Honestly went into this programme being oblivious, just knowing I wanted to spend summer in a different country, and I’m so glad I went through with Travelteer, it has made the whole experience worth it. Everyone is so welcoming, helpful and I feel like I’ve come out of this experience with life long friends. Everyday was something new and exciting. I appreciated every second I was there and regretted leaving so soon. Staying for two weeks was not enough, and next time, I’m staying for more than a month. Nepal is so underrated, there is so much to explore and experience. In these two weeks, I have gone to help two schools (painting/ teaching kids/ playing games/ losing every game with kids), went up to a mountain village to build green houses, went out partying, meeting a lot of amazing/ funny people, played so much cards/ snooker, bit by leeches, made BFF’s with our beloved Paw - Khara (my fav💕), Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s and M&S (all dogs except M&S who is a frog), fed a dead spider/ dead moth to a frog, sprained my ankle, played in a stream, jumped into a lake, went to see amazing sceneries and ate a lot of amazing food. My favourite line an amazing person says (Paula👸) .. who else can say that ….. in Nepal, and I am one of the privileged ones to say that I can. I wouldn’t want it any other way. ❤️

Volunteering in Sri Lanka

I have just finished four weeks in Sri Lanka with Travelteer and could not recommend it more. All the staff are a pleasure to be with and make you feel right at home. There is always activities and things to do while you’re not volunteering which means you’re never bored. I did the Sports Programme which I highly recommend. It was great fun to have a run around with the children and play sports everyday like cricket and volleyball. It was run by Vishwa who is the smiliest guy in Sri Lanka and was a great help with the sports lessons. And if you’re looking for some awful dances moves he’s your man. We did the coast to coast tour run by Camila which is well worth doing. She was always there to help and is the friendliest person you’ll meet. She brought the group together perfectly and I felt like I was leaving a good friend behind when I left. The tour was a great way to see the rest of the country while felt like I’d travelled as well as contributed to the volunteering. If you are looking for a good laugh with good people and a proper travelling experience of Sri Lanka then do this.

Camilla and Anoma

Camilla, one of the coordinators was amazing. As was Anoma on the Marine programme. Both very knowledgable and approachable. Always available to answer questions. Made the stay enjoyable

Sri Lanka Travelteer

Genuinely couldn’t have had a better time out in Sri Lanka with Travelteer! They provide so many more opportunities than just volunteering - lots of activities, nights out and time to make true friends for life : ). The coordinators provide the perfect mix of friendship and guidance - Camila especially helped so so much, I wouldn’t have coped these past few weeks without her. If you’re considering coming out to do volunteering, definitely do it!

Sri Lanka Marine Program

Anoma is amazing to work with, he knows so much about the wildlife and is always enthusiastic to answer questions and share his expertise! The tour was great fun,everyday is packed with activities and Nalin and Camila were fantastic throughout. Trekking though the jungle up to Ella Rock was a particular highlight. We almost got lost after getting separated from the group but Camila was with us every step of the way and even pointed out a wild python in the undergrowth!! Honestly Camila has been incredible, amazing, unreal this whole trip and I truly do not think that I would've had the positive experience that I have had without her.

Volunteering in Sri Lanka

I have just spent the last 4 weeks with Travelteer, participating in their sports development program. It was an incredible experience and one that I would highly recommend to anyone considering a Travelteer program! A big thank you to Camilla (aka Dora) who was our tour coordinator, and helped make the trip unforgettable for everyone involved! Also a mention to Vishwa, our sports coordinator, who ensured that every part of the program was fun and engaging! It has been an amazing trip, and I have made friends and memories that will remain with me forever. Sri Lanka, you will be missed!!
