Fun fact: there are over 500 castles in Poland and one of them is a sprawling brick stunner that actually holds the title for the biggest in the world.

"Magical" and "beautiful" are just a couple descriptions you'll hear people say about this Ugandan destination! 

If Poland isn't on your "travel list", it needs to be. 

Say hello to our newest European program — the countryside of Warsaw, Poland!

Traveling around the world is bound to give you some pretty life-changing experiences, but visiting this infamous concentration camp in Europe may end up being one of the most memorable. Here's everything you need to know about touring this sobering and sacred place: Auschwitz-Birkenau. 

This Peruvian city is colorful, easy to explore on foot, and has a bit of a European feel — we're in love!

Red cliffs jutting up to sandy beaches and the bluest of ocean views — wow wow wow Peru! While most travelers head right to popular destinations like the Rainbow Mountains and Machu Picchu, we've fallen in love with the Pacific coastline.

A semester abroad in Peru has got it all! Spot penguins where the red rock cliffs back up to the sea, learn to surf in Lima, and photograph the Rainbow Mountains. And of course ... Machu Picchu! No trip to Peru is complete without a trip through ancient (and so iconic) Incan sites. And the highlight of it all — As an ILP volunteer, you get to make your Peru experience so much more meaningful by serving in our Humanitarian program.

All of Europe is pretty historical, but the bright colors and chapters of history found in Warsaw are only two reasons to visit the Polish capital.
