How to plan a volunteer trip to Asia?

First of all, choose a country from the 48 countries in Asia. The most wanted destinations are in East and Southeast Asia. Most people who want to volunteer in Asia look for India, Vietnam, Thailand, Nepal, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Taiwan and Philippines. You should also think about what you can offer as a volunteer and pick a place according to that. Another good thing to remember is to choose a place where you can easily explore the surroundings, after all a volunteer trip is still a trip.

This is how you get room in exchange for work around the world

How to find a place to volunteer in Asia?

In most countries in Asia you’ll be able to find places that need help from volunteers. There are volunteer programs in Asia which try to charge a lot to connect volunteers and places in need. But actually, you don’t need to pay expensive agencies or anything like that to find a place to volunteer abroad in Asia. If you are passionate about social work, at Worldpackers you can find a school, farm or other kinds of volunteering projects in Asia.
