I plan to volunteer for 3 months next year. I've been looking into volunteer opportunities in South America and India primarily. My goal is to figure out the location I will be volunteering in by December, that way I can start on the next goal of securing funds and taking care of all other necessary details.
I've gotten a lot of pamphlets and brochures about the projects, but I haven't really heard any real life tales about volunteering abroad.
If you are out there reading this and you have been to a project in these regions, do you mind sharing some of your stories and/or tips with a fellow traveler? Where'd you go, how long were you there, how did you enjoy it?
I'd love to hear your story!

Hiya,
That's great that you're thinking about going abroad to volunteer! Just off the top of my head here are a couple of people you might want to get in touch with to chat about their experiences:
Sarah went to volunteer in Ecuador on the Galapagos Islands:
