Volunteer & Eco Adventures

Volunteer & Eco Adventures Feature Writer: Karen Berger

In Volunteer and Eco Adventures, we travel the world seeking to tread softly, explore local culture and environments, have some adventures, and give back along the way.

  • In Adventure Travel we explore alpine adventures, water adventures, equestrian adventures, solo travel, and more.
  • Our Eco-Adventures include jungle safaris, nature wildlife tours, and environmentally responsible travel - everything from safaris in Africa to sea turtles in Central America. We visit sustainable tourism projects that are helping to save fragile landscapes and help local economies.
  • In International Volunteering, learn how to use your skills to help others - raising homes, teaching school in developing countries, planting trees in deforested jungles, or building trails closer to home.
