A friend of mine (hi Gabor!) dropped me a line about atlassliced.com, a video travel blog which is effectively what I do here at Overseas Exile, but in video! I had planned something like this myself, but I never quite had the time to pull it off. Here's an episode about volunteering abroad.
It looks like they post regularly and have episodes about taking a gap year, how to study abroad, success stories and many more. I strongly urge you to check it out.
And don't forget that we have work permit jobs now!
