Unique Ways to Stick to Your New Years Resolution: Immersion Travel, Volunteer, or Learn

In setting New Years resolutions, a lot of people focus on little changes: losing weight, trying to be a nicer person, recycling more, and not spending as much money. However, what if you made a big resolution? What if you decided this was going to be the year you actually made a difference – not only in your life, but in the life of someone else? These big resolutions take a lot of effort and planning; it is no easy task to just start having a positive impact on the lives, community, or environment beyond one’s self. How do you go about it? Where do you start? Do you volunteer? Or do you seek out an internship for a non-profit?

What usually happens is that we try and make a big resolution, but because of the difficulty of the task, our lack of knowledge revolving around just how to go about it, and because our life usually gets in the way, the resolution goes nowhere. Well, don’t let 2009 be like past years. This year you can stick to your resolution to be a positive light in the world, and to help you get there is the new book by Sheryl Kayne, Immersion Travel USA: The Best & Most Meaningful Volunteering, Living, and Learning Excursions.

Filled with over 400 pages of ways to better your life and the world around you, Immersion Travel USAis a book that anyone looking for meaningful change in their life should definitely have. Covering volunteer programs, education programs, internships, short- and long-term job opportunities, care programs, activist jobs, and much more, Sheryl has put together an indispensable resource.

Combining her years of adventure, writing, and personal exploration, Sheryl covers a wide swath of ways you can make your life more meaningful. What I really enjoyed about the book, however, is that these are not the usual programs everyone already knows about. Nor are they in the usual places. Rather, Sheryl has combed the United States in an effort to find ways for people to enrich their lives and the lives of others all while visiting new and amazing places.

Want to monitor the health of coral reefs? Well, then check out page 48 where the Reef Check Foundation is profiled. Or how about helping assist severely wounded men and women of the US Armed Forces? On page 77 you can learn about volunteering with the Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project. Looking for a change in your career, but don’t know where to start? Immersion Travel USAhas an entire section devoted to just that, finding new work opportunities (both short and long-term) that revolve around working for the environment, the community, or for those in need.

Perhaps your resolution for 2009 is not as lofty. Maybe you just need to get away and learn about the world around you. No problem, Immersion Travel USAhas that covered too. How about partaking in a cultural immersion excursion in Havasu Canyon with the Havasu Native American tribe? Or perhaps dog sledding in Alaska is something you have always wanted to do. Either way, Immersion Travel USAhas more programs, opportunities, and experiences then you can possibly do in one lifetime. If you are looking for some help this year in sticking to your New Years Resolution, or you are just looking for something to inspire you, then Immersion Travel USA: The Best & Most Meaningful Volunteering, Living, and Learning Excursionsis a must have. Make 2009 your best year ever!
