"The more each day passes now, the more I realise just how much I need to align my life with my VMP (Vision, Mission, Purpose). This time is a very exciting one for me. I am no longer as 'stuck' as I was when we first began our sessions, and I can visibly see my life moving more towards how I would like it to be everyday. I feel new opportunities and ideas flowing to me everyday, and I can distinctly feel I have so much more courage to live my life MY way, than I did a few months ago. I would like to thank you for that. The support and resources you have given to me have been the major reason for many of the shifts I have made. I can't wait to be able to give that gift back to others!"
Layla S., Qatar
" I wanted to tell you first, that I love your book! I have read it cover to cover, and as a traveler myself, I feel such a connection with the personal stories in "A Global Citizen's Perspective….it is so helpful and refreshing to see a career guide for adventurous folks like ourselves! I didn't think I would ever find a career counseling book that would be so tailored to my goals and desires."
Desha P., USA
"After 4 months of coaching, I have already noticed great changes and progress in how I live my life! As a fellow expat, I feel you truly understand the problems and challenges
that I face…."
Anne M., Germany

volunteer abroad
Volunteering abroad conjures up typical images like building bridges in Africa, teaching English in the Peace Corps or helping refugees in war-torn countries. However, volunteering opportunities these days cover a much broader spectrum of intriguing alternatives. You could also participate in a scientific research expedition on Kangaroo Island, use your business expertise to mentor business owners in Russia or take part in an archaeological dig in Egypt. The options for volunteering overseas are almost endless.
The Global Citizen book provides a chart for you to identify causes, groups or issues you feel strongly about, then helps you match up your interests with the right volunteer opportunity. For programs that do not pay their volunteers, the Global Citizen gives you tips for finding organizations that foot part or all of your basic expenses, including scholarships and grants. In the Special Fundraising Section you'll learn how easy it is to raise some or all of the program funds yourself. The Volunteer Abroad section of the book also presents benefits and pitfalls of volunteering abroad, "umbrella" websites that offer an overview of your options, many unique volunteer programs and accounts from other volunteers.
