Travel with purpose; travel for good. Articles, resources and events for ethical and meaningful travel, volunteering, working and studying abroad.
Verge believes in travel for change. International experience creates global citizens, who can change our planet for the better. This belief is at the core of everything we do.
When I think back on it, my first experience volunteering overseas kind of sucked. It's a long story, but the short version is that I showed up in Nepal thinking that I was going to save the world and found out that really I was on an adventure tour posing as a volunteer programme.

I decided to continue studying in the UK, rather than return home to Canada. Here’s why.
Europe may be the School of Hard Knocks for ESL teachers, but Troy Nahumko has some tricks to ease the trade.
Don't just take our word for it. Verge interviewed some key execs to get their take on gap years. The bottom line? Go for it.

Travel around the world on an empty wallet? Yes, it is possible.
