To help make a plan to improve yourself and the world around you in 2017, Kaya is proposing 5 New Year travel resolutions that should inspire you to be the change you want to see and get some things ticked off your bucket list. Here are Kaya’s ideas for resolutions that can make 2017 the best year ever! [featured programs] [Progam Photo] [Get out of your comfort zone.] ____ Maybe you’re finding your day-to-day life a bit unexciting? They say if your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough! Volunteering abroad is a great way to step out of your comfort zone and immerse in a new culture and environment.. To add a bit of excitement to your life you can work with [lions in Zimbabwe] or [Whale Sharks in Mozambique]. Or live in a totally different environment when you take the hike out to our rural community project in Nepal! [LEARN MORE] [Progam Photo] [Learn a new skill] ____ Kaya’s range of projects offer many opportunities for you to develop new skills, or build upon skills you already have. Why not build wildlife photography skills in a [conservation and photography placement in South Africa], or help out on a [marine conservation] project in Belize or Thailand and learn how to SCUBA dive in the process? [LEARN MORE] [Progam Photo] [Expand your friendship circles] ____ When you volunteer abroad with Kaya, you will be working and living alongside other volunteers and local team members. You’ll meet people of all ages and nationalities, and you'll already have a love of travel, a sense of adventure and a passion for your project in common. What better way to expand your friendship circle? A great destination to meet new people is the [Philippines]. People from all over the world come to help out on our projects, and the English-speaking, Filipino locals we work with are extremely friendly and love to welcome new people into their families. [LEARN MORE] [Progam Photo] [Save the planet] ____ We may not have the gym-body for a lycra super-hero costume, but we can still do our part in saving the planet this year! By volunteering on one of our [conservation projects], you can make a difference to plant life, animal habitats and the environment in the Amazon rainforest, the African savannahs and coral reefs around the world. A step up from just doing your recycling - you also get to experience the environments you are helping save at the same time! [LEARN MORE] [Progam Photo] [Learn a new language] ____ Make 2017 the year you learnt a new language! It becomes so much easier and fun when you immerse in the language you’re learning. You can combine language classes with many Kaya projects or just sign up for our language programs. [Spanish] is the most popular language to learn, in Peru, Ecuador and Costa Rica, but you can also study [Mandarin in China]!

Personally I have grown a lot and learnt a lot about myself from the trip. It’s infected me with the travel bug as I am about to embark on a 6 month trip. I absolutely want to assist in marine conservation more in the future. Diving is an incredible and beautiful thing and I believe it is mine and others responsibility to help maintain the beauty so that the next generations can also experience it and of course not just admire but sustainably live off the ocean.” - Max is also back in Belize this Christmas working on our building program! Enjoy Max! Olivia Wilson, United Kingdom Turtle Nesting and Island Coral Reef Conservation in Borneo "I have learned a lot about the conservation projects going on in this area and I have taken away new friendships and new skills such as surveying skills. I loved meeting so many amazing people, seeing so many turtles every day, and sitting on the jetty to watch sunset every night. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience it was the perfect ending to my travelling." Brittany Ross, Canada Pre-Veterinary Internship in South Africa “This pre-vet internship was amazing and exceeded all expectations I had. I would advise all pre-vet students to go on the trip and would advise the volunteers interested in this program to plan on staying for at least a month…I have learned so much about veterinarian medicine and also had the chance to practice what we learned in the program. The highlights of my trip include working on a sick rhino and the wild beast capture."
