Volunteering is making a comeback more than ever, in large part to President Obama who is encouraging American citizens to volunteer and calls it a “civic duty”.

Cage dive with Great White Sharks? Yes, please. Feed orphaned baby lions? Yes, please. Work on an organic farm in Tuscany? Yes, please. Help endangered and orphaned orangutans in Borneo? Really, the list goes on and on. I want to do everything in this book, and would if I had the time and money. One day I will do at least one of these things, and I'm going to save a list of the names of these organizations for when that day comes.

She's a Liberal bootlicker, but her ideas are sound. (Not that I'll fight with anyone over their political leanings, the author just GUSHES a little too much for me. Ick.)

I skimmed through this looking for ideas on how to get a cheap trip to Europe. I liked the chapters on working for Britain's National Trust, serving as a lighthouse keeper, restoring medieval castles, and excavating a Roman fort. Not so me-tracking jaguars though I love cats and researching the great white shark. They put you in a cage in the water with them! It was an interesting book with fun ideas.

Not as good as "Volunteer Vacations", but still interesting. This book is divided by continent. You really have to read to see if the "expedition" is right for you.
