Life-Changing Experience

Volunteering with Projects Abroad was a whim of mine. I had always wanted to volunteer abroad, and PA was the first somewhat-affordable company I could find that met all of my needs as a first-time volunteer. I don't even know why I initially chose Cambodia...I suppose it just seemed like a good fit. I have never been more right about anything in my life! Cambodia found its way into my heart and now it's stuck there. PA hooked me up with an amazing school to volunteer with, and I met some of the most amazing children in the world. The accommodations aren't luxurious, but they were better than I thought they would be! Some of them even had air con! Just go into the whole experience with an open mind, and you'll be find! Bottom line: leaving Cambodia after 2 months was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I DEFINITELY recommend spending some time volunteering there, and Projects Abroad provides a good platform on which to do so, especially for inexperienced travelers and/or people who don't want to have to worry about planning their food/accommodation/etc.
