Traveling abroad can be intimidating, but it helps to hear about the experiences of others before embarking on your own journey. We asked our United Planet alumni for their best advice when volunteering abroad and compiled their suggestions into a handy list! If you are about to leave for a Quest or are thinking about volunteering abroad, be sure to consider these helpful tips from past United Planet volunteers – after all, they know what they are talking about – they’ve experienced it! Check back on the United Planet blog for weekly blog posts elaborating on each tip.
