Adventure Travel - or, vacations that take you out of the realm of ordinary realms of tourism, are becoming all the rage these days. A typical adventure tour includes traveling to areas not typically covered by other travelers, and may include physical exertions like backpacking or river trekking so that rich people can salvage some modicum of dignity by feeling as if they're earning the money they've exploited from the local economy.

Recently, however, there has arisen a new niche of adventure travel made prominent mostly by the website: http://www.i-to-i.com/.

I-to-I offers travelers the chance to make a difference by volunteering aid as well as immersing themselves in the foreign culture, so that tourists can be a little more relevant than the useless slobs of typically canvass beaches and nightclubs. Volunteers do a variety of activities involving either ecological conservation or community service projects in everywhere from Bolivia to Nepal.

So the next time you feel conscience pangs after spending three nights in a Honduran hotel that doesn't even allow Spanish speakers in the lobby, you know what to do.

 

 

i-to-i helps people make a difference while they see the world, by creating opportunities for people to immerse themselves in foreign culture and volunteer abroad in over 20 countries.

They offer a wide variety of volunteer experiences throughout the world, along with quality TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) training, and help thousands of people to catch the travel bug.

But they offer more than just teaching opportunities. Can you see yourself working on conservation projects like monitoring lions in South Africa? Or rescuing sea turtles in Costa Rico? Or how would doing community work with orphans in Guatemala change your life?

In addition, you have the opportunity to become a certified TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) instructor via either i-to-i’s online or onsite courses, which can lead to employment opportunities later.

So if you are looking for a travel experience to change your life, check out http://www.i-to-i.com/.
