So I have been doing a bit more research about the idea to travel for a year jumping from one volunteer opportunity to the next. I have decided to narrow things down a bit more, but again, I’m open to suggestion. I am willing to go anywhere and do anything providing it is financially viable. This means I can get there on a realistic budget and am not cris crossing the globe.
I have been surfing the information super highway. There are more ‘volunteer opportunities’ now than ever. I can’t believe how much organizations are charging. 1000 pounds for 1 week to volunteer is Thailand. Yikes! You can get by for a couple months on that budget. As a result, I think I need to define some criteria. First criterion:
1. I will not pay to volunteer.
I realize that many of these organizations do not have robust financial assets, but volunteering for the organizations should be providing some benefit to them. I will pay to live (food and accommodation), but not to volunteer.
That’s all I have for now. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
