This is a paid feature

Have you ever been asked by friends or family to pick the one place you’d go if someone bought you a free ticket?  You’ll already know how difficult it is to nail down just one place that will provide you with an unforgettable experience. With so many amazing destinations to visit and life-changing experiences to be had, it can be a challenge not to fall into the usual and sometimes cliché things people do on their life-affirming travels. 

Whether you’re looking into that once in a lifetime trip, researching the perfect honeymoon or planning to explore around the world on that well-earnt sabbatical, finding the right experiences for your adventure can be overwhelming.    

Because I love helping you out here’s 6 unforgettable experiences that may just fit the bill:

Animal Conservation in Africa

Getting involved in a real animal conservation project in Africa, working alongside professional conservationists to save Africa’s wildlife and its natural habitat, will not just provide you with that awe-inspiring safari you’ve been dreaming of, but it will also give you that feeling that you made a real difference. 

Tragically, African wildlife is faced with so many life-threatening dangers, and poaching is STILL depleting numbers of all kinds of animals daily. Many species are facing extinction include Rhinos, Ethiopian wolf, Grevy’s gorilla, and the mountain gorilla.

To help safeguard the African animal populations from the continuing onslaught of poaching, animal conservations groups are using trained rangers and sniffer dogs to stop wildlife traffickers. So, if you want to make a real difference consider applying to join an animal conservation group in Africa, and book a trip you will never forget.

Volunteering to Teach in Chile

If philanthropy is for you, and you’re over 21 years of age and happen to have an English University Degree, you could volunteer to teach English in Chile. All they require is to be mentally and physically capable of teaching young children. Dedication and commitment are equally desired attributes as well as flexibility and responsibility.

You should also have an interest in Chilean culture and a desire to live in remote parts of Chile, which is one of the most beautiful and stunningly diverse countries in the world.  This is a truly life-changing experience for all that experience it.

Since this is a volunteer job, you’re required to have sufficient funds to cover personal expenditures throughout the program. But if you’re taking a year out to find yourself, this could be the experience that stays will you a lifetime.

When you are planning this trip you should also budget for costs of transport to the consulate and the expense of obtaining documents including a Temporary Residence Visa.  Don’t let the formalities catch you out!
