Great Ideas!

If you're looking to travel around the world without being a tourist, this book is a good start. It lists numerous volunteer gigs (some paid, some not) around the world and is divided into sections first by area of the world, and second by type of work. Many of the jobs provide room/board/stipend if you pay for your travel (yet, some cover that too). So, if you have a year (or even less) to travel, this would be a good way to do it. Being a part of the community and living and learning the culture is a richer experience than tourist'ing through!
