almost done, i promise!

OK.... so when I thought up the countdown idea, it seemed fabu. Now? Oh well. Trolley on, as you say, right?

So,

6) Go Abroad - Why do i like this one? Simple. I logged on looking for volunteer opportunities, ended up exploring the eco/adventure section and suddenly began imagining myself rafting down the Nile or trekking through Patagonia to conduct research! You've gotta love any website that can spark the mind like this one can.

5) Cross Cultural Solutions - This was one of the first sites I stumbled onto and, even though I haven't found anything through here that floated my boat, have been receiving their e-newsletter for almost two years because I love opening my mail and getting that little hit of 'mmmm....that'd be nice' in the middle of a cranky day at the library. (You know what? I now understand why librarians have a reputation for being so crabbit. Patrons can make a person crazy.)

4) Inter-Cultural Youth Exchange - This is the UK site for a world-wide organisation that has partner offices in 34 countries and offers a wide range of short and long term volunteering ops.

As expected, I've saved the best for last so drum roll, please..................

(come on, annoy the person next to you and tap your fingers on the edge of the desk, you know you want to)

 Are you tapping? (Have you made the person next to you look over yet? No? Tap harder. And faster.)

Right. Check out my next post for my tops! (HA. Did you really think I was going to give it all away in one feel swoop? Don't forget my previous picks are here under A Top Ten Volunteer Site Listing)
