This book is a tremendous resource for anyone interested in low and no cost vacations. Granted, most of these deals are of the outdoor eco-type travel, but that would be welcome for many of us.

What's the catch you say? Well many of these programs are in exchange for volunteer activities for various non-profit and/or educational organizations. Now, this is not always a "catch", there are incredible learning experiences to be had, not to mention you can make the world a better place.! Plus, not all of the trips have these "restrictions."

Evelyn Kaye has done extensive research and this book can save you tons of time, money and energy. Contained here are full descriptions of the trips available, details on where to find them, costs (if any), qualifications and if children are welcome. These are unique trips your travel agent will never mention (chances are, your travel agent will not even know about them).

Categories covered include:

• Children Under 16 Welcome
• Free Vacations
• Hiking and Biking Vacations
• History and Archaeological Vacations
• Nature and Wildlife Vacations
• Waterways Vacations

While volunteering may not be for everyone, it will appeal to many people. Students, seniors and others who can afford to take a more leisurely approach to travel timewise, but who might not be as finacially wealthy, will especially benefit from its guidance.
