In case you’re planning to set out for a voluntour in the coming year, here are 5 reasons why you should choose to volunteer in Bali.

1. A chance to work with Balinese toddlers and kids

Do you love spending hours with children? Have you always wished to volunteer with kids in a different country? Then you’ll absolutely enjoy being a volunteer in Bali. You can either choose the Teaching Program or the Kindergarten Program. The kids attending these learning centers come from underprivileged backgrounds and their parents cannot provide them with the required care and attention that they probably need at this tender age. Being a volunteer, you will be endowed with the task of taking care of these adorable ones, love them, feed them, play with them, teach them simple lessons and keep the environment cheerful & happy. Occasionally, you can assist the teachers and caregivers as well. Working here as a volunteer will help you to polish your creative skills, as well as test your patience and perseverance. Overall, it’ll be an incredible experience.

2. Spend hours on the beaches while working for marine conservation

What more can one ask for? Volunteer work at the beach side, that’ll give you ample scope to spend time on the pristine beaches of Tianyar, located in Northern Bali. This part had a rich coral reserve, which is now suffering from pollution and degradation. As a volunteer, your role will be to save these coral reefs from further degradation and also keep the beaches clean. Unlike other beach vacations, a volunteering journey to Bali will change your perception about traveling, and it’ll eventually make you a responsible traveler. You’ll learn to value the gifts of nature, more than ever.

3. Know more about the culture, traditions, cuisines of the land

People on a luxury holiday trip to Bali only end up spending a lot of money doing just touristy things, yet they miss out knowing about the natives, their lives, and lifestyle, the culture and festivals etc. As a volunteer, you’ll have a chance to take a closer look into their lives. You’ll be living at home stays with host families and be a part of their daily lives. You’ll understand how different people can be, in other parts of the world and learn to respect all, in spite of their diversities. It’ll be a golden opportunity for you to learn their language, as well as the art of cooking the local delicacies.

4. A wide range of adventure sports to give you an extra dose of thrill

Bali is a heaven for the adrenaline junkies! And if you have never tried anything of that sort, then now is the time to indulge in it! From scuba diving and snorkeling to fly-boarding, there are many other extreme sports such as canyoning and cliff-jumping that will give you a perfect dose of thrill and excitement! All these are extremely affordable and won’t make a hole in your pocket. Just to add to your surprise, 1 USD is equal to 13575 Indonesian Rupiah!

5. Try out yoga and meditation for that much-required retreat!

A volunteering trip to Bali will come with additional benefits of a yoga retreat as well! If you don’t already know this, then let us inform you that Bali is the perfect place for an ultimate, soul-soothing, back-bending, and maybe, even a life-changing yoga getaway for the wandering souls. Being a Hindu country, the art of yoga has always been an important part of Indonesian culture.
