What makes you a good M/LTV?

If you are...

- organised, responsible and well-prepared.
- emotionally stable and have a good sense of humour.
- open-minded, adaptable and ready to adjust to a different culture.
- self-reliant and capable of improvisation when needed.
- patient, flexible and able to work in an international team.
- willing to learn about other cultures and lifestyles.
- committed to sharing your knowledge and skills.

...you will be a great M/LTV...but if you only fulfil some and not all the above criteria, you should still apply, as it is never too late to learn!

Quote of the day

« In total I spent just under 3 weeks in Iceland. I had the best time of my life ever. And I feel my life has benefited from the change it has brought about within me and the valuable lessons I learnt. I have more awareness of life, a larger sense of adventure and heightened curiosity about the world. »

Helen C. from Kingston upon Hull
