Travel Insurance for your volunteer abroad trip

So you’ve picked a volunteering experience, and you are over-the-moon excited about it. Now what? There are plenty of things you’ll need to do before your trip abroad, and getting a head start on planning is the best way to avoid becoming a frantic mess at the last minute. Here’s a complete breakdown of tasks to prepare for your volunteering trip.

So you’ve volunteered abroad, and your experience was 100% amazing. Now what? It’s easy to assume that life will just go back to normal after your trip, but that’s not necessarily the case. You may feel inspired to be more adventurous, try some exciting new activities, or make changes in your local community.

We all know how important it is to lessen our impact on the environment, and most of us try to be eco-conscious in our everyday lives, but one issue that we may have while traveling is that it’s much harder to be sustainable when you’re not at home. It can be difficult to find a place to recycle in an unfamiliar destination, and our use of plastic water bottles, plastic bags, and other single use plastics goes up when we’re abroad.

Dreams of travel to foreign countries can seem unattainable if you don’t have the funds, but you might be surprised to discover that international travel doesn’t have to be expensive. By taking advantage of discounted volunteering trips, you’ll find that it’s possible to visit another country on a budget. Here’s our tips on using volunteering to make your trip super cheap!

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed when you arrive in a new country, especially if this is your first trip abroad. You may feel a desire for the comforts of home, or anxious about the distance between you and your family and friends. Don’t worry - there are plenty of ways to reduce the effects of homesickness. Here are some ways to prepare for your volunteering trip and combat homesickness while abroad.
