I work for UniversalGiving (www.UniversalGiving.org), a web-based non-profit that connects individuals to the best performing projects to donate to or volunteer with, all over the world. We have hundreds of opportunities on our site, from working in wildlife and environmental conservation in South Africa to providing support to artisan communities in Costa Rica. We vet all our partner organizations through a rigorous QualityModelTM before they can appear on our site.

If you're interested, I can also put you in touch with our founder and CEO, Pamela Hawley, who was inspired to serve others by seeing extreme poverty in Mexico when she was twelve. Since then, she has served and volunteered all over the world. She has worked and volunteered in microfinance in remote villages of India; crisis relief work in the 2001 El Salvador earthquake; sustainable farming in Guatemala; digital divide training in Cambodia; and indigenous community preservation in Ecuador. Additional volunteer trips include Thailand, Mexico, Nicaragua and Colombia. She has also written about international volunteering on her blog, Living and Giving, and I know she'd be glad to speak with you!

I just heard about a bar in Cullera (near Valencia) called "Casa Pocho," where the bartenders encourage the patrons to swear at or insult them, offering free drinks for especially creative patrons.

I haven't been there, nor do I know anyone that has actually been there, so I can't do a trip on this myself.

Take care Trazzler

Your site is cumbersome to search. There should be a way to select options to serach and deselect. LIke for instance in looking for animal encounters I dont want to go to Africa. I'd be nice to be able to exclude items. Also after you add something to your wishlist it would be nice to be able to go right back to where you were before you clicked the trip you added to your wishlist. I've tried hitting the back button but doesnt work right.

there should be a better a way to log your completed trips not just your wish trips

Hello Trazzler.

I was just wondering if you were going to incorporate some sort of system, where you can enter a zip code or address and find all the trips with in particular distance. It seems like there is already something, a little bit along those lines, where you enter a town name in the keywords, and most of the trips within about 10-15 miles come up...

But say for example I was going to visit seattle, and I wanted to find something fun within 40 miles of Seattle. I could type in Seattle, and I would get many trips within Seattle. As it stands now, to find something 40 miles south of Seattle, I would have to find the name of a town in that area, type it in. To also find something 40 miles north, I would have to find a town name, type it in... If there was a way to say "Show me trips within 40 miles of Seattle," it would make it even easier to find things in that distance. If I could also add in a caveat of "South," because I knew I would be heading in that direction already... that would be ultra cool... (That way it would just show me trips to the South, and eliminate trips to the north, east and west if I didn't want to travel in those directions.)

Or if there was some way to enter a route in Trazzler? Say I was driving cross country, and I had a few specific towns I needed to stop in? To be able to enter the route in, and find interesting places to stop within fifteen miles of the route.... wow. If I was driving from San Francisco to Boston, I wouldn't want to have to type in the name of every town along my route, just to make sure I didn't miss something really cool.

For instance, type in an address in San Francsico, and one in Portland. Indicate a distance of 5-10 miles, select the activity or experience you are looking for-"restaurant" "hiking" "camping", etc. and it would show trips along the shortest route...

I have no idea how easy or hard it would be to make a feature like this... but I at least think it would be really cool.
