I recently attended a web-based seminar about volunteer travel. What an amazing way to see exotic destinations, become immersed in and experience other cultures and give back to humanity on a global scale.

Wouldn't you just love to spend a week in Italy or South America learning how to prepare authentic dishes from a experienced chef? Wine: Tasting on a global scale. How about a tour of Argentina's wine country? Or France, or Africa? (Also includes Napa Valley and Portland, Oregon!) Volunteer travel: Train for job placement in a foreign country teaching English as a foreign (or second) language or combine travel with adventure by volunteering to work with wildlife, build, teach, work in community development, conservation, work with children or sports coaching. We work with a company that offers all of that and more. Travel is my addiction, but I feel it's one well worth sharing. I can help make your travel dreams come true. I'm just a phone call away. ...read more
