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
