Sidebar: International Volunteering: 5 Ways to Find a Fit
In lieu of writing an original post (I am workin’ on it), this sidebar highlights another post I wrote for The Lost Girls as a guest blogger. The title of the post is “International Volunteering: 5 Ways to Find a Fit,” and is essentially a summary of selected bits from Issue 2 of The Nonprofit Notes, “Giving Back While You’re Gone” (full version in the next column over).
I hope it helps you or someone you know find their perfect path to international service!

Update (posted October 20, 2009): While we’re on the topic, also check out VolunTourism, a new addition to my nonprofit website blogroll. I recently spoke on a webcast with them, and have found the site to be a great resource for travel-related volunteer ideas.
#54. New York City: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful
I write listening to the soundtrack of a very talented street musician playing his guitar as I look at the silver skyline of my favorite city. Oh, New York, I do love you.
#53. Washington, D.C.: There’s No Place Like Home
So, now that I’m firmly back on American soil, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family and pets (check out Harley Maximilian, pictured here, after one of our bonding+jogging sessions). In addition to reconnecting with others, I’ve also been reconnecting with my environment, thinking a lot about where I’m going next… and I don’t mean trips. Deciding on new short-term destinations is easy (Oslo? Lima? Kigali? Okinawa?), but choosing a city that will be my next home?
Not so much.
