Volunteer- A Cheap Travel, Rich In Spirit
If somebody was to ask you how to best combine a cheap travel with seeing as much of the world as possible, your answer really should be to suggest to that person to volunteer.
To volunteer is becoming an increasingly popular way of not only seeing the world, but physically taking part in building a better and brighter tomorrow. And there is no better way to find cheap travel that still will take you to parts of the world that you would only dream about being able to visit.

A cheap travel does not have to correspond to having a cheap experience. Quite the contrary is true regarding volunteer work. There are so many areas were your help would be appreciated, such as lending a hand in the building of a school in the village of a developing country.
Or why not help these children to learn how to read and write, an effort that will prepare these children for an increasingly globalized future, making them more adapt to correspond to the demands of their future. This is a win-win situation if ever there was one. A cheap way to travel, but the feeling of accomplishment you will take away from the trip will be a source of joy and fulfilment for the rest of your life.
So you are just a cheap travel away from changing the lives of so many children and their parents. People that have been left in the backwater, struggling with poverty, everyday is a constant battle of doing their best in order to simply stay alive. You can work with building projects, in health care or education. Just take your pick and make a difference.
Volunteer work also involves a lot of environmental issues, and efforts to protect endangered species of animals.
It is the cheapest way to travel, especially considering that food and accommodation is included in the amount you pay to the volunteer company organizing the trip. Testimonials given by previous volunteers are all ranting and raving about this unique opportunity of seeing the world and at the same time changing it. One brick at a time. One English lesson at a time. One flu-shot at a time.
The inspiration that you will get from the people there will be as beneficial to your own personal progress as your help will be beneficial to their community. Here you are not only crossing a country, going from one place to another in a restless hunt for new adventures. This is your chance to truly gain some insight in to what the true nature of life really means for people in developing countries.
So if you are looking for that ultimate combination of a cheap travel that is rich in experience, there is hardly a better way to do it than signing up for a volunteer program. To live with a host family is unbeatable if you truly want to get under the skin of a different culture, if you want to learn about its weaknesses, its strengths, and its idiosyncrasies.
