February 20, 2018 by Caroline CLeave a Comment

Increasingly people want to escape the rat race and spend some time helping others from South America to the South China Sea. However, there is a catch, unless you have a couple of years spare to make a serious commitment with the US Peace Corps, who pay for everything, volunteering abroad isn't cheap.
