In today's travel talk episode, host Kim Anderson explores the world of volunteer tourism—a unique way to see the world while giving back. Inspired by her conversation with Niamh McAnally (Episode #125), she dives deep into all things volunteer travel!

From environmental conservation to teaching English, she breaks down the types of volunteer travel opportunities available, offers tips on how to start, and shares insights on how this travel style deepens connections with the places and people you encounter. 

We’ll also explore the pros and cons of free and paid programs and why volunteer tourism might be the life-changing experience you’re looking for.
