Bring a diary

When you go abroad to do volunteer work and travel, bring a (travel)diary!

Yes, doing volunteer work is about sharing your skills and knowledge with others - but usually people who do volunteer work learn so much from the people they meet that the knowledge and experiences they gain is the biggest prize.

Being in another country can be incredibly inspiring. I recommend everybody to write down your thoughts and feelings, your experiences and (small) things about your day. You can also stick your bus-tickets and other memories in there. This way you can reminisce even the smallest details you might have forgotten while being back home again.

 And if you want to, you could write some stuff down in a blog here on Worldsupporter!
