Volunteering abroad comes with experiences and offerings that seldom have an equally enticing match. From taking weekend add-on tours to taking out and out summer volunteering and travel projects, there are several tips that you can use to make the most of your volunteering journey. Participants also have the advantage of getting to do both touristy and non-touristy things during the course of their journey. Some of the activities that volunteers can take up include :

Visit Some Recommended/Popular Spots – One of the essential components of volunteering abroad includes traveling extensively to absorb the most of what the destination has to offer. This is why it is recommended that volunteers opt for traveling around in the destination they are working in. We have special pre-designed travel itineraries aligned with our volunteering projects on offer as well.

Take Weekend Trips – Most of our projects are 5 day working and volunteers can plan weekend trips to nearby spots over the weekend. The local coordinator will help you make your travel plans or else you can contact the dedicated Volunteering Solutions Travel Desk for pre-planning your travel plans.

Take Language Culture Orientation Lessons – A great way to perk up your volunteering stint is to opt for language lessons. Our projects in Nepal, India, Peru, and Costa Rica offer language and orientation lessons by, well, the locals themselves. An absolute must for language and culture enthusiasts, contact the information desk to know about the constituents of these projects.

Take-Up Beach Extension/Hiking/Adventure Activities – Our summer volunteer program & 2-week volunteering and travel programs have the beach extension, hiking, and adventure trips that are made available by VolSol to all its volunteers and can be added at any point of their trip or even before their journey begins.

Taking Local Cuisine Cooking Lessons – Recommended for foodies who want to explore a different culture through knowing its cuisine must opt for this. Made available at several destinations, cooking lessons can be clubbed with your everyday volunteering sessions, especially during evenings and are a great way to spend your volunteering trip abroad.

Live Travel Blogging – There are several responsible travel and backpacking portals that love original content from ground zero and offer to submit your photos and content with the world. Go out there and inspire people to volunteer and travel while they make a difference.
