Brazil
"I knew this was not only the right thing to do, by helping out and volunteering my time, but it's also an experience that I would have never had otherwise. Regular tourists will never have the same opportunities and experience as I did. This trip to Brazil has taught me so much about life. I don't think I will ever go on another vacation without thinking of Brazil first and my reasons for traveling there."Megan Sheridan, Volunteer in Brazil
