Experiential Learning While Traveling. Is it possible?

When you volunteer with animals you aren't just having fun, you are also engaging in experiential learning! You know it's important for a solid university application and excellent padding on a CV, but it's more than that. Experiential learning has you training in hard skills like wildlife husbandry as you develop your soft skills like conflict management. When you live immersed in a different culture, you see the world in a different way and that helps you expand as a person. When you take part in activities with your own body it helps concrete them as skills you have high efficacy in. Experiential learning is more than just ticking off skills, it's understanding better in part.

Will you have fun? YES! Will you take part in really important work? Also YES! Will you learn more about your context while understanding the realistic parts of wildlife and animal caretaking? Of course, YES!
