People live abroad for varying reasons: to see the world, learn a new language, expose themselves to a new culture and to simply enjoy different experiences. FrugalMonkey’s entire section on volunteering abroad is a great place to learn about the many opportunities there are in volunteering while you travel. Volunteering can expose you to areas of the country you are visiting that you would otherwise never see. It’s a great place to practice a new language and it also gives you the opportunity to improve your resume. Graduate schools and colleges are always looking for volunteer experience – so think about enhancing your travel plans by volunteering!
