Volunteer stories

'I can remember one day trekking, in the pouring rain and we'd gone two hours the wrong way down a muddy, slippery slope... However, as a group, we all decided we could do it, we put a smile on our faces (or at least tried) and trekked through thick jungle and then out into one of the most spectacular views I've ever seen.' Jenny Reynolds Costa Rica & Nicaragua expedition

Our volunteers come from all walks of life, backgrounds and nationalities, each with their own reasons for joining an expedition. Read about the experiences of our venturers and volunteer managers to find out what life on Raleigh's really like, warts and all!
