Kiwi Experience

This trip would be amazing for anyone interested in sustainability and green community development. The first two weeks were spent planting native tree species, pulling weeds, going to town council meetings in Kaikoura--one of the greenest towns on Earth, touring the recycling center, learning about the impact of waste on plants and animals, and visiting a natural baby seal sanctuary.

New Zealand, especially the South Island, is completely breath taking. Just keep in mind that southern and northern hemispheres run on opposite seasonal calendars.

ISV also does adventure tours, so after two volunteering weeks I spent two more traveling the islands and sky diving, kayaking, hiking on glaciers, caving and seeing glow worms, and zorbing.
