I say go for it! The only thing to remember if you decide to volunteer and bounce around is to make your plans ahead of time! I personally love going to other countries that may be in better or worse situations it make you appreciate what you take for granted a lot more. A lot of people complain about how hard life is here but when you see how much harder life could be like without things like running water and electricity 24/7 you realize that you don't have it as bad
