March 15, 2017: Voluntourism is worth looking into — if you want to travel and use your time to do some good. Opportunities include wildlife conservation, education, health, nutrition, environmental conservation and much more. You need to know whats included and expected before you sign up — especially where you might be based — most likely not with easy access to a Four Seasons. Best plan is to pick a respected charity that offers worldwide volunteering opportunities — Giving Way, International Volunteer HG and Volunteers for Peace are a good starting point. Give a Day Global offers day long programs — others might be a week or more — check out your organization of choice carefully, as well has contact with travelers who have experienced a program. Leave any idea of rest and relaxation back home!
