Global Volunteers teach English in Hungary

I very much enjoyed my experience in Hungary. I worked with elementary students, students about to take their exams for university and adults who wanted to improve their English. In our spare time, we visited museums,
a pottery, an embroidery shop, and a winery. We were well accepted by the community-we often ran into students as we walked to school or to do some shopping and everyone was welcoming and friendly. It's a wonderful opportunity for someone who wants to travel,
but has no companion as you can usually find a fellow volunteer who will accompany you somewhere. This particular program has been discontinued, but I would recommend the organization as a whole and plan to go on another volunteer vacation at some point.

The journey towards capitalism

Travling to Russia in 1992 was a life altering experience. So much about this country was shrouded in secrecy as it emerged from 75 years of Communist rule. Russians for the most part had never met an American and were hungry to learn. Global Volunteers put an interesting agenda together for us to see remote parts of the country, meet a variety of people, exchange ideas and to create a bridge of friendship between nations. I enjoyed every minute and certainly came home a changed person. I highly recommend Global Volunteers for anyone wanting a hands on experience with instant results.
