If you’ve thought about volunteering on the road, then take a listen as my guest Mariapia shares a helpful website that’ll go a long way in planning your volunteer options!  Originally from Peru, Mariapia has been on the road for nearly two years. She enjoys theater and has her own online yoga company, Cosmo Yogui.

In this episode, Mariapia takes us to Andorra and Dharamsala, India. She also talks about the volunteer network site Workaway and shares some of her volunteer experiences along with other stories from her travels. After the interview, I give an in-depth breakdown of Workaway and its features.
