Although lounging around on a beach can be a dream vacation, even a piña colada connoisseur can get restless. The next time you take some paid-time-off, trade in your umbrella drink trip for an experience with Global Visions. This travel-savvy company will help you hone in on an international charity opportunity, and custom design a trip for a group of ten or more to visit your donation destination.

After you choose a cause, location (ever wanted to visit New Zealand, Peru or Thailand?) and a travel date, Global Visions will not only handle all of your trip details, including lodging at boutique-style hotels and local guided tours, but will also arrange for you to visit the charitable organization you donated to so you can see your good deed at work. If you don’t have a group to travel with, sign up for a pre-arranged trip and make a few new friends on a safari in Kenya or a trek through Turkey.

When it comes to a vacation, mixing business with pleasure can be easy to swallow.
