If your dream vacation is one where you lay on the beach getting sunburnt while your spending an arm and a leg just to stay in then nicest hotel…than maybe this isn’t for you! But if you want to use up your vacation time doing something life changing, maybe consider doing Voluntourism!

Voluntourism is exactly what is sounds like! A vacation which includes volunteering for a chartiable cause.

VolunTourism Defined:

The conscious, seamlessly integrated combination of voluntary service to a destination and the best, traditional elements of travel — arts, culture, geography, history and recreation — in that destination.

So what do you think? Would you Volunteer for your next vacation?

What Are Your Plans for Springbreak?

Got your spring break planned yet? If you’re thinking you’d like to make a difference with your time, think about using spring break as a volunteer vacation opportunity. MTV and United Way, Habitat for Humanity and i-to-i are just a few organizations ready to put you to work over spring break.

This spring break will not be the most exciting but I was considering what my school has to offer. At the school I attend they offer spring break programs that are focused on volunteering in other states to better them by focusing on cleaning up the highways to helping children in the community. All these trips are less than $500 and consist of about a three to four day trip.

If you want to make the most out of spring break and take a different approach by making a difference then check out volunteer opportunities and see what your school has to offer!
