Headed to come volunteer in one of the coolest countries around? Before you go, you’ll need to know how to get to all the dreamiest vacation spots, headache-free.

You’re almost all set to spend a semester volunteering, but have this one nagging question — is it a good idea to bring your laptop abroad?

We know you love new countries to volunteer in! And we love it too — ILP has programs in countries all over the world and are always looking to continue growing. But how does that work, exactly?

We love how these volunteers from the Dominican Republic decided to help out someone they really loved — Tamaris, the sweet cook!

So far, we haven’t run into things about Poland we don’t like, but this hidden lake may take the cake — it’s ideal for a laid back vacation.  

Maybe you’ve heard a little bit about the ILP Program and it sounds great … but you’re not exactly sure what is actually means to volunteer abroad with us — and that’s okay. We’ve put together some more info on what you might be worried about so you can know what it takes. 

Turns out Chiang Mai is more than markets, lantern festivals and elephants — this city in Thailand also has one rad water theme park. 

We’ve put together a few different directions to help  ILP volunteers living in Ukraine (and those just visiting) get to see this LDS temple during their semester abroad.  Whether you want to get there on the metro, on the bus or by calling an Uber, we’ve got you covered.

Coming home from a semester with ILP means coming home with lots of pictures, amazing memories with your ILP group and a few more stamps in your passports (and a tiny bit of a broken heart after saying goodbye to your kiddos!). But for one ILP volunteer, coming back meant teaching professionally — back in Asia!

Living abroad doesn't mean you have to skip out on General Conference. You can still tune in even if you’re living in a different country (and are in a different time zone) — here’s how.
