Volunteer in Bali, what to do in your time off? 

Bali has lot to offer. With so much to do, during and after your participation in the volunteer program in Bali, it will be hard to know where to start exploring. Located in the Coral Triangle, Bali's maritime life is exciting and diverse. There are both white and black sandy beaches all around, and two twin volcanos in the center were reaching out into the sky, Batur, and Agung. With 6002 temples, each uniquely designed for a different purpose, you will be struggling to find out how many you can see on such a short trip. It's a country that prides itself with a no door, no gate policy. Everyone is welcome.

To learn more about the Balinese culture during your volunteer program in Bali, you can visit one of the many museums: Agung Rai Museum of Art, Museum Negeri Propinsi Bali, Museum Le Mayeur, or the Neka Art Museum. Or just let the roads lead the way, follow the paths and play a game trying to spot as many enticing details of your host country as you can. Sit and relax watching people going by, make friends, hike or go with the flow to find out what endless possibilities Bali has to offer.

If you are into water sports, snorkeling, diving, sea-trekking, surfing, kite boarding or anything else related to water you can visit either Nsa Lembongan or Kuta Beach. Sit on the beach at the end the day watching a colorful spectrum of red playing with the clouds as the sun sets. Can you think of a better way to end your volunteering program in Bali?

Most people in Bali speak Indonesian and Balinese. However, seen that the Balinese economy depends 80% on tourism, it is common to find English speakers too.

How long can I participate in the volunteering abroad programs in Bali?

As most countries only allow individuals traveling on a tourist visa to stay up to 12 weeks, you may be involved from 1 to 12 weeks. However, if you would like to stay longer and explore more, contact us. We will be happy to discuss your options.

How can I wash my clothes during my time participating in a volunteer program in Bali?

Every volunteer is responsible for doing their own laundry. However, you might stay in areas where there are no laundry facilities and either bring enough clothes or be ready to wash your clothes by hand.

Can I take electric appliances from my home country?

Of course, but you will need an electrical converter. Note: it's not an adaptor is a converter. You can find information for the different voltage’s in the various countries here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity Or ask in a local shop specialized in electric appliances or a good travel retailer about the different plugs available and converters.

It is important to inform your bank that you are going to travel to Bali. In certain situations, when banks see foreign transactions in an unknown location, they freeze your bank account. It is done for your protection, but it can also leave you a very awkward situation half way across the world.

What is the local currency? How do I know the exchange rate?

The local currency in Indonesia is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). We advise you to find the latest exchange rate on http://www.xe.com/currency/idr-indonesian-rupiah

How much money will I need during my participation in a volunteer abroad project in Bali?

As RCDP covers board and two meals, breakfast, and dinner, you will need money for lunch and snacks. The rest is what you would like to do. Are there any activities and tours you would like to participate? How many Balinese souvenirs can you fit in your suitcase?

Also, remember there is visa fee, from the US $50 to $100 depending on how long you want to stay in Bali. In some situations, there will be an airport tax, which must be paid on your departure. Answer these questions truthfully, research a little, and you will have a good idea of the final equation.

Is it safe to have money on me?

Honestly? Sometimes it is, sometimes it is not. It is better to be safe than sorry. Do not carry a lot of money, carry at least two wallets and a money belt with extra cash in case of emergencies.

What should I wear during my time participating in a volunteering project in Bali?

As a volunteer in Bali, you should wear smart, conservative clothing. It means smart jeans and t-shirts can be used, but not short-shorts and tank tops, or anything else that might be revealing.
