I’m having a hard time deciding which companies seem the most legitimate so I’ll check out United Planet considering you had a good experience. Thanks for the other links, too..
Amiee January 25, 2010 at 10:09 pm: Great advice Abbie. I recently decided that I am not going to travel anymore for just the sake of traveling – I want to find some way to incorporate volunteering into all my trips. It is tough to find groups that don’t sound sketch ball though – please share if you come across any others.
Abbie Mood January 26, 2010 at 5:28 pm: I feel the same way, and it can be hard to find a reputable company – I researched a few before I went with United Planet!
