What Abroad Escape actually does
Abroad Escape is not a cheap volunteer-abroad directory where you are left to compare every option alone. We act as the guidance and proposal layer before you book.
You tell us your dates, age, interests, budget, comfort level and travel goals. We help you narrow down realistic options and build a simple schedule you can review before making a decision.
The aim is simple: help you avoid choosing the wrong destination, project or schedule.
How the process works
Tell us your travel month, number of weeks, age, interests, budget and any concerns.
We help you compare destinations, project types, local setup and what needs confirming.
Your proposal explains the destination, project, price, inclusions, local support and next steps.
You can ask questions before committing. The proposal helps you make a clearer decision.
Who runs the program locally?
Abroad Escape helps before departure. We help you compare programs, understand pricing, request a proposal and prepare before you book.
Your in-country experience is delivered by local program teams and trusted program partners. Where The Green Lion is the ground partner, the local team handles accommodation, meals, airport pickup, orientation, local coordination and day-to-day project support where included.
Your proposal confirms the exact local setup before you pay a deposit.
Is Abroad Escape the same as The Green Lion?
No. Abroad Escape and The Green Lion are not the same company.
Abroad Escape helps travellers choose, plan and book supported volunteer abroad and internship programs. The Green Lion operates many programs on the ground where it is the ground partner.
We explain this openly because students and parents should know who helps before departure and who supports the traveller locally after arrival.
Can parents trust the setup?
Parents usually want practical answers, not sales language. The important questions are simple: who picks them up, where do they stay, who supports them locally, what is included, what is not included and what happens after arrival.
That is exactly why we recommend asking for a proposal before booking. A good proposal should explain the destination, project, accommodation, meals, local support, price, deposit, exclusions and next steps.
If you are a parent, you can contact us before your son or daughter commits. We can explain the setup and what still needs confirming.
What should you check before booking any volunteer abroad program?
Reviews and proof
You should not rely on one review, one social post or one promise before booking. Read the reviews, ask practical questions and make sure the proposal explains the local setup clearly.
Abroad Escape publishes participant reviews on the website. You can read those before requesting a proposal.
Partner context: The Green Lion Impact Report
The Green Lion Impact Report 2025 gives useful context about The Green Lion’s wider project network, safeguarding policies and selected project examples.
We use this as partner context. It does not mean Abroad Escape personally delivered every result in the report, and it does not mean every project is available for every date. Ask us which current programs fit your dates and goals.
