This is it. I want, I want, I want. Anyone have about $4000 they feel like donating to the cause??? 18 months ago

I’ve been harboring this interest for a while, and have read about tons of really incredible sounding ecological/outdoors opportunities domestically and abroad, and occasionally read about really cool wildlife-related ones abroad. I’d need my husband on board with this one (and joining me!), need a pet-sitter(!!), and depending on what kind of trip, might need a far bigger travel budget than we’ve ever sprung for – so at this point this is a pipe dream…but isn’t that what 43t is for sometimes? 18 months ago

I have never done anything in my life like this before. I think it would be kind of scary but totally cool 2 years ago

I want to travel somewhere with a purpose and leave with the knowledge that I have done even just a little bit to help make stranger’s lives better. 3 years ago

Research volunteer vacation opportunities. 3 years ago

i saw an article about “quirky ways to travel” or something like that on msn.com. i had no idea things like this even existed! i’m starting to research it and i think it sounds like an awesome experience. i’d love to get one or both of my parents to go on one of these trips with me, it’d really be an amazing memory. 3 years ago

Today Hurricane Dean is due to hit Xaymaca, where I was born. I wish I could fly in next week to help. My Dad thinks that I am crazy for wanting to fly into the aftermath of hurricane. I remember living through the direct hit of one in 1988. We stayed down for a whole day. We then had no power for one year. I read a lot (by lamplight) between age 12 and 13 because there was no TV. But we were alive. Looking back it was not so bad.

Hope today, Hurricane Dean misses Xaymaca and that if it doesn’t…it will have a bit of pity. 4 years ago

I volunteered in St Bernanrd Parish outside of New Orleans last fall for vacation and I would definitely recomend it. I met a lot of cool people and felt a real sense of acomplishment. If anyone needs contacts there or wants to get involoved message me I will definitely help you out. They need as many as are willing. 4 years ago

Well I applied for a weeklong stint in Mississippi doing post Katrina rebuilding. We’ll see if I get in. 6 years ago

I really want to do this – I just don’t know anyone who has. If anyone can tell me anything about Global Volunteers or Globe Aware or i-to-i programs, I would love the feedback… 6 years ago
