Immerse Yourself in… Asia: Ancient Traditions Meet High-Tech Gadgets Asia is the world's largest continent at 17,139,000 sq. miles (44,390,000 sq. km) and is home to about 3.3 billion people, nearly three fifths of the world's total population. With a wide range of cultures, religions and traditions and a style all its own, it’s no wonder this continent is home to many of the world’s favorite travel destinations. Volunteering in Asia opens up the possibility of teaching English in busy Bangkok, or working on a conservation project in a misty jungle. You’ll also experience Asian life off the tourist trail, as you learn to eat, sleep, work (and play) like the locals. When you’re not rescuing wild guars or building clay houses you’ll be free to explore this fascinating region. Trek your way through Thailand, or plan a trip to Cambodia or a shopping break in Kuala Lumpur. You newfound knowledge and experience will give Asia a resonance it’s never had before, and you’ll leave with the kind of memories you can’t get following any guide book.
