From Moscow, this is a charming little day trip you can make happen on any Saturday or Sunday. Something you should make sure happens, especially since Sergiyev Posad holds the title as the most “Orthodox city” in all of Russia. 

Hey Vilnius — we love you for a lot of reasons, but we're here to shout you out for providing some of the yummiest bites around. Our ILP volunteers who live here for a semester are dishing on their favorite spots.

Not only does this country have a dozen darling little cities for you to visit, Romania is home to a handful of quirky, creative, and unmissable holidays and festivals you can be a part of. 

If you’re not already dying to go to Ukraine that’s only because you have no idea that this country is hiding castles galore, painted European streets, cups of melted chocolate, and a hundred other reasons why you’d want to spend a semester here.

Amsterdam is becoming quite the tourist hub. And for good reason! But what about the cities and towns nearby that are just as lovely but often forgotten? Here are several we recommend!

Just because you’re not interested in teaching English doesn’t mean you can’t volunteer with ILP.  We actually have a program where you won’t be teaching at all.

Come ride Ferris wheels. Or maybe paddle around the lake. Oh, and did I also mention this is all happening 400 feet underground? 

Anyone headed to Europe for a quick trip or a semester abroad will want to pack up the right converters and adapters.

If you're like me, you may have not known a lot about Russian food but were totally hooked once you got a taste of these favorite dishes.

Headed to Voronezh, Russia to spend your semester abroad teaching English with ILP? Get ready to fall in love.
