Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Any young adventurer looking for an extraordinary summer vacation will become engrossed in this comprehensive research tool full of interesting opportunities. In this compendium, Casewit ( How To Make Money from Travel Writing , Peter Smith, 1991) focuses on volunteer work, summer employment, and expensive journeys. Highlighted are opportunities in outdoor work, farming, tourism, sports, the arts, and learning vacations. Though many options offer little or no financial reward, and costs vary considerably, compensation is plentiful in the form of experiences, friendships, and memories. Added features for the financially able traveler are excursions to destinations such as the Himalayas, South America, and Antarctica. All the material is concise, informative, and well presented, giving brief descriptions, practical information, and pertinent addresses. Readers will be impressed with the quantity of information and diversity of choices presented.

From Booklist
Casewit undoubtedly aims this compendium of volunteer activities and summer job opportunities at the 16-to-22 age group, but endeavors are included that will be of interest to older adults as well. Chautauqua, New York, is one example of a seasonal community where people of all ages can learn about diverse topics of cultural interest. There are also listings of language study courses overseas and various arts and crafts centers offering classes. In some instances information is basic--such as the address of an airline--but self-starters will find this a helpful guide and a good introduction to a range of possibilities for summer projects.
