Volunteer Vacations unltd: Volunteer Vacation & Travel Opportunities
Showcasing the Volunteer Vacation Alternative (aka Voluntourism) ... Taking a Vacation To Serve Others.

Below you'll find Merchants and Products which speak to the topic of this site and which, in keeping with our mission as The Web's Concierge, have been carefully chosen and individually screened for your shopping ease and pleasure. They are not paid ads, but rather companies with whom we have selectively chosen to partner. We do earn a referral fee if you find something you like or need and purchase it. We have striven to bring you the "best in breed" companies ... those that: we like, our friends like, have great sites and service, have good online reviews, positive consumer reports, and are family friendly. Keep us posted with regards to your own personal experiences with them.
You may be surprised at companies that have not been included. The "noisiest" in the marketplace are not always the best. We have chosen 1) newer innovative companies that are performing well and garnering respect in their respective niches as well as 2) "Main Street" companies that have been reliably getting the job done for decades ... in some cases centuries. Our oldest partner, thus far, has been in business since 1819! That's staying power.
Rest assured, if we've included a certain vendor in a site's line-up, there's a very specific reason for it. You may have to hunt and poke a bit, but it'll be well worth the effort. Enjoy the adventure!

Customer Favorites:
Afar: A different kind of travel magazine for those who travel the world seeking to connect with its people, experience their cultures, and understand their perspectives.
Amazon: One of the planet's most mind-boggling arrays of goods. First came the books. Now they've added every other product on the planet. The ultimate in selection and convenience across multiple categories.
Conde Nast Traveler - Digital: A magazine for those who embrace a globe trotting lifestyle and who can afford to go anywhere they want on a first class ticket, but who also want to avoid the tourist scene. To that end, readers of that ilk will find top vacation destination reviews, hotels, shopping and dining spots, and transportation tips.
Expedia: One of the leading "online travel agencies" providing independent travel booking for flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises, and vacation packages ... a 2019 best in show for car rentals.
Intrepid Travel: A small group tour company with an ethos and modus operandi that might not work for all, but certainly does for some. Intrepid specializes in "soft" adventure" travel (which might be a relative term for some folks) and small groups (as few as four and usually not more than 12). It is no frills ... local food, local transport, and modest accommodations ... grassroots travel I guess one would call it. Just without all the pre-planning hassles. They've been doing it since 1989 and have 800 different tour variations. Some folks love 'em (including some of the National Geo folks), some not so much. You just need to know what you're looking for out of your travel experience.
National Geographic Traveler: Nat Geo's spinoff publication that tells you all about the amazing travel destinations National Geographic Society reporters and photographers have visited, while giving you the advice and tips you need to get there. You'll find recommendations for hotels and other lodgings, detailed maps, feature articles about vacation destinations in the US and abroad, and other helpful travel advice.
One Travel: Offering air, hotel, car, cruise, and travel package deal booking ... considered one of "the top 10" best online travel sites (ranking pretty high on that list ... ahead of others you might hear more about) ... they do have an easy to use site which has lots of info on it which you should read (esp the FAQs) ... also providing good customer support.
Target.com: This favorite shopping destination has become one of the Web's 5 top favorite places to shop ... the company has worked its way into the Fortune 50. They've really covered all the bases when it comes to customers' "wants and likes".
Travel 50 & Beyond: The only travel magazine written and designed specifically for people who are 50 and older. Serving a more thoughtful travel audience which demands quality, value, and an enriching travel experience.
Vacations: The practical travel magazine full of helpful advice for the average American traveler. You'll find ways to save money on hotels, restaurants, and popular tourist destinations. The focus is on travel in the United States, but international travel destinations and travel tips are included as well. For those who like to get the biggest bang out of their vacation bucks.
