| Here is the latest draft of our itinerary. |

|
|
| It is still changing as we establish projects and determine airfare and other costs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Countries include: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Russia, England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, India, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, China, South Korea, Japan, USA, Belize, Peru, and Ecuador (Galapagos Islands) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We will blog about each of these to tell you a bit about the country, it’s history, people and culture, as well as our experiences there. We are just passing through some of the countries (especially as we drive through Europe) but many of them include longer stays for our volunteer work, where we will be immersed in the local culture. |
