This year book a different kind of holiday and volunteer overseas. There are many projects out there offering a unique experience for the adventure traveller.
A volunteer holiday offers a great opportunity to experience a new destination whilst doing something worthwhile. There are a variety of responsible holidays that enable you to be as adventurous, cultural or educational as you like, knowing that you are doing something to benefit the country and communities you are travelling within.
Global Vision International provide support and services to charities, non profit and governmental agencies. They organise 3000 trips each year and have a great selection of projects for those seeking a volunteer holiday overseas.
Travel for one week or more and choose from the many trips that include sports projects in India, construction in Kenya, childcare in Ecuador, teaching English in Thailand, wildlife conservation in Madagascar and marine conservation in Brazil. The list goes on take a look here.
If you are able to travel for a longer period why not learn to Scuba dive on a marine conservation expedition in the Seychelles, work on conservation projects in Costa Rica or head down the Amazon on a project studying rare and endangered species in the Ecuadorian rainforest.
No midlife crisis this it’s overseas adventure travel with added feel good factor.
