"Travel is now more open to a greater number of people than ever, and travelers are often looking for new adventures and experiences. Yet with crises developing constantly around the planet, many travelers want to explore the world and do good at the same time. This book shows them how."--Back cover.
Some people want a meaningful role when they travel. They want to explore the world and help the less fortunate even if they don't possess specialized skills. That's where voluntourism comes in: a mix of both travel and volunteering. Blumenfeld relays examples from his own travels from Las Vegas to Nepal. He shows how to identify the right location and volunteer situation, how to go about planning trips and preparing for activities, how to reach out, how to help. -- adapted from introduction
