DESCRIPTION:
"Four Stars" according to carolyn gaarder. I wish that there had been more vacations in the US.. MOKSA said DO AN UPDATE PLEASE!. LOVE THIS ! WISH THERE WAS AN UPDATE. Not as great as National Geographic makes it seems. This book definitely did not live up to the national geographic standard. Even though it suggests that since they are volunteer projects (so assume airfare and board) there are also other fees that make some of the more interesting projects super expensive. Also, most of the listed websites in it are down or unexistent [anymore]. i give it 3 stars.
