Get Inspired By National Volunteer Week

Traveling for business this week? You may think you don’t have time to volunteer, or that volunteering is something you do when you’re at home. I used to think that. But there are thousands of organizations who would greatly appreciate even a few hours of your time.

Volunteering helps put perspective on all the hours spent traveling and doing business in other cities. Instead of groaning at the next flight delay, instead you’re grateful for the opportunity you have to travel at all.

For ideas on volunteering, even when away for business, read Enhance Your Travels: Volunteer at my companion site smartwomentravelers.com. The ideas are gender neutral!

And I’ll be meeting with a Make-A-Wish child this week – for what may be his last trip.
