My name is Paul and I am the editor of the site. I have already enjoyed the benefits of being a volunteer abroad and wanted to share some of the knowledge and experiences I gained with the wider community in order to enthuse people to volunteer themselves and give them some handy advice along the way. The aim of this site is to help others get the most out of their volunteer experiences. As soon as someone has volunteered once many often go on to do it again and some again and again. I certainly intend to do more and try out different schemes and adventures.
Please be advised that the information contained on this site is based on experience and opinion and you should certainly obtain advice from other relevant sources before embarking on volunteering abroad. The advice given here is intended to help you make the decision whether volunterring is right for you or not and should you opt to do it, then there are some tips here about some of the preparations you should think about making before travelling. If there is anything here that you think should not be here or if there is anything here that you think should be here then please do not hesitate to contact me using the link in the menu bar at the top of the page. Thank you for visiting the site, I hope you enjoy it and that it has helped you in some way.
So...are you going to volunteer?!...
