Title Overview |
|
A unique blending of an anthology and guidebook aimed at inspiring travelers to journey along the road best traveled and increasing awareness of lesser known organizations around the globe who may benefit from the assistance of volunteer travelers .
The Voluntary Traveler is a travel anthology penned by writers from all over the world. Focused on inspiring volunteer vacations and/or encouraging adventure-minded people to see volunteer work as a part of ones longer journey, the book will also include a volunteer guide section, listing charities needing volunteer assistance, plus organizations that coordinate service orientated travel. The book’s creator and content editor, author Nola Lee Kelsey, has a goal of producing a title that helps people see the best aspects of making a positive impact through “voluntourism” and dispels the perception of volunteer vacations as a sacrifice. In other word, we focus on the good, the amusing, the mind-expanding and the adventurous facets of this type of travel. · Opening up new worlds to readers with intriguing and inspiring stories by real-life travelers who have walked the walk, not just talked the talk of volunteer travel · Illustrating the fun/adventurous side of volunteer vacations · Giving publicity to smaller charities world-wide who can benefit most from your help, but have the least budget for networking and recruiting assistance · Presenting an intelligent/interesting option to mindless tours and mankind’s innate travel practices. · Offering tips, advice and options to people considering making a difference along the way · Inspiring an army of volunteer-minded travelers to lend a hand, helping charities large and small meet their goal of making the world a better place · Allowing novice writers the opportunity to appear alongside seasoned professionals in a book project they can be proud of participating in
The Voluntary Travel is nearly 500 pages of inspirational stories and guidebook style listings of global volunteer travel opportunities. |
