Adventure and volunteering
An adventurous location does not necessarily mean that volunteers take part in demanding outdoor activities. Some projects may simply be based in remote or unusual environments, while others require good fitness, previous experience or specific equipment.
If an activity involves hiking, climbing, rafting, water sports or other physical risks, ask about supervision, equipment, weather conditions and the experience required. Make sure your travel insurance covers the specific activities you plan to undertake.
