A volunteer vacation offers a unique opportunity for you to make a difference in the world. Instead of doing what typical tourists do by seeing the sights and taking in a theatrical show or sporting event, you roll up your sleeves and get physically active to ignite change in undeveloped countries or areas of the globe that need vast improvement to make them safer, healthier, and better for the people that reside in them. If you’ve ever researched a volunteer vacation, you know that most come at a cost to you.
There are supply and material costs with most programs. You may receive free lodging or meals throughout your volunteer experience. You may also be responsible for paying for your flight to and from your chosen destination. It’s an expense you must be willing to invest in to have this unique travel experience.
Volunteer travel opportunities are often as unique as the people that sign up for them. Some are appropriate for doing alone while others you enjoy as a group or family. Whichever option appeals most to you, know that you could potentially be teaching children English in another country, building safe homes for underprivileged people, working with endangered species or wild animals, and even helping to establish gardens in places where none existed before.
The terms and conditions of each program differ, so you must read the fine print and learn what you can about the volunteer vacation opportunity. It’s also advisable to purchase travel insurance as most of the expenses of the trip will be paid for by you. Allowing others to know about your plans could potentially pique their interest in a cause that they weren’t aware of, and they may want to contribute to your travel fund or even join you on your vacation.
