“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” - Susan Sontag

I have to be honest! You may end up regretting having volunteered…and here’s why:

Trips you take without volunteering will never be the same.
Discovering local gems will take twice as long, like that hidden beach your host showed you!
