Immerse Yourself
Volunteering abroad while on holiday is growing in popularity. Volunteer
holidays offer a chance to do more than just travel. They offer the chance to
immerse yourself in a new culture, embrace local lifestyles, and help where help
is needed. We’ve assembled a short list of the many opportunities available, if
you want to earn your cocktail while on holiday.
