So the deal is that I would like to travel across Central and South America for an undetermined amount of time. Along the way I would like to volunteer and spend a few months in each country. I am wondering if something like this is feasible? If anybody has done something similar and have any advice? Info about me is that I am 23 and am well educated, I am open to all kinds of experience. Ultimately my dream would be to live abroad and volunteer for a couple of years. Any advice? Reply to this

think this is feasible. i volunteered in Sri lanka with projects abroad. I met fellow volunteers who volunteered with us and travel to different countries after their placement.

do intend to do independent volunteering?

Have met many guys in Central/South America who traveled this way. They all enjoyed it very much! Visited SA myself last summer, also doing a combination of volunteering and traveling (though unfortunately did have a time limit) and had a great time!

(by the way, search for volunteer south america . net orso. It holds a list of free/cheap volunteering possibilities. Used it myself and am very positive about it. ) Reply to this
