The Volunteer Traveler's Handbook (Traveler's Handbooks)
In this slim guidebook, author O’Donnell covers how to find legitimate, socially responsible volunteer opportunities as well as what to expect as an international volunteer. In an informal and engaging style, the author encourages readers to think about why they want to be an international volunteer, explores the challenges of choosing a volunteer experience, and details living in a foreign country. There are personal stories, practical tips, and an appendix of resources. A great beginning guide for those just starting to think about volunteering internationally, this would be a useful addition to most library travel or volunteerism collections. --Rebecca Vnuk
