In a desperate attempt to escape the monotony of their own lives, throngs of volunteers are flocking to remote places to do some good. Why not, right? There's nothing like trading your Netflix subscription for a hut in the jungle to really "find yourself." Bolivia is particularly popular, where you can protect endangered species while navigating salt flats that will inevitably get stuck in your shoes. Meanwhile, in Nepal, volunteers are signing up for the thrilling opportunity to teach English while dodging stray cows on the streets of Kathmandu.

And if the great outdoors isn't your thing, you can always try Bali, where surfing and turtle conservation go hand in hand with your Instagram influencer dreams. Who needs a beach vacation when you can scrub turtle shells and call it a "life-changing experience"? It's all about perspective, folks Just remember, the real challenge in these remote places isn't the work itself, but trying to get a decent Wi-Fi signal to post those volunteering selfies.
