Work & Volunteer Abroad!

February 21, 2008

As much as I was too lazy yesterday to do anything productive, today, my mind is just so active! I’ve been awake for more than fifteen hours and it seems like I won’t be getting sleep until later this morning. Yes, my body clock has gone berserk. Anyway, I have been thinking that since I have plans of going to Cebu and Bacolod this summer, plus another two weeks of vacation in Jakarta and Bali, Indonesia, then why not spend a month in Boracay too? Then I’d really get to see for myself what it would be like to be a real islander and not just a tourist on a vacation. Or better yet, I ought to visit some remote country or region and experience another kind of life like I never did before! For instance, why not go to Paris, France? Well? Hmmm…

 

I remember back in high school, Mer & I made this pact that come May 18, 2008, we’ll go to Paris. Wishful thinking, huh? Pretty much, yes. But there are ways of making our dreams come true. If not Paris, then maybe New Zealand or Sri Lanka… Maybe even Germany, Bolivia, Ghana, etc. The list can go on and on. How can this be possible, you might ask? Well, there is such a thing called Volunteer Program where people are encouraged to work part-time or as volunteers in the country of their choice while at the same time using this opportunity to travel and explore. Board and lodging come free and those who go really get to have a once in a lifetime cultural experience plus pocket money to boot! Volunteer Programme offers various courses and opportunities ranging from agriculture (like picking fruits, farming, taking care of horses and other livestock), education (language studies), to tourism (hotel receptionist, housekeeping, etc.). The program’s period varies too. It can last from a month to a year depending on your choice. Isn’t this cool?! It’s so exciting! Let’s check it out and see which program can fit us.
