Be Inspired with the inside scoop!, June 18, 2009

By Heather LaRee Carter (Central Coast, California) –
  

This review is from: The 100 Best Volunteer Vacations to Enrich Your Life (Paperback)

What a cool book! Easy to read, great links and tips along with giving travel a greater purpose than being served mai tais on a beach (which sounds lovely but…) Several volunteer-vacations in the US from blazing trails to protecting sea turtles in Georgia. Pam Grout includes the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Middle East with wonderful and meaningful vacations. I felt inspired and happy reading this book and loved “traveling” and imagining myself on the tiny Greek island of Aegina or working (and learning) on organic farms across Italy! Wonderfully written and a pleasure to read and learn. Nicely done, Pam Grout!

Not as great as National Geographic makes it seems., November 21, 2009

By Lyra Rose (San Diego) –

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: The 100 Best Volunteer Vacations to Enrich Your Life (Paperback)

This book definitely did not live up to the national geographic standard. Even though it suggests that since they are volunteer projects (so assume airfare and board) there are also other fees that make some of the more interesting projects super expensive. Also, most of the listed websites in it are down or unexistent [anymore]. i give it 3 stars.

All these idea and more are made very accessible with the author's attention to detail, good write-ups and helpful references. <br/><br/>There are opportunities close to home and at the far ends of the earth to volunteer and help people while you learn new skills, whether you want to survey biodiversity of coral reefs in the Philippines, or get an elephant driver's license in Mahout. (My favorite idea!)

Travel beyond the ordinary, June 28, 2009

By Helen Gallagher (Glenview, IL United States) –

This review is from: The 100 Best Volunteer Vacations to Enrich Your Life (Paperback)

This 2009 publication from National Geographic is a road-worthy compact paperback, bursting with ideas that will get you moving. You could collect butterflies in the Amazon, assist Europe’s marginalized gypsies, teach music in Ghana, or work in an Argentinean soup kitchen. All these idea and more are made very accessible with the author’s attention to detail, good write-ups and helpful references. There are opportunities close to home and at the far ends of the earth to volunteer and help people while you learn new skills, whether you want to survey biodiversity of coral reefs in the Philippines, or get an elephant driver’s license in Mahout. (My favorite idea!) “The 100 Best Volunteer Vacations” has got you covered, for adventure in North America, Europe, the Mideast, Africa, Asia and Australia. [...]
