The Voluntary Traveler: Adventures from the Road Best Traveled
The Voluntary Traveler opens new worlds to readers through intriguing real-life stories told by travelers who have walked the walk, not just talked the talk, of volunteer travel. A perfect blend of humorous misadventures, life-altering vagabonding and reaffirming experiences combine in this long-needed travel title penned by authors from around the world. Some of whom are well-known travel writers, others are just the ‘ordinary’ extraordinary among us all.
The Voluntary Traveler focuses on inspiring voluntourism and encouraging adventure-minded people to seek out volunteer work as a part of one’s greater journey. It includes advice, a detailed volunteer guidebook section, listing charities needing volunteer assistance and
organizations coordinating service orientated travel.
This is not a collection of beautiful travelogues describing the sunset view from a perfectly formed hammock. This is a book by 22 genuine volunteers, from photographers to dentists, hands-on travel writers to hand-bitten zoologists, each sharing their own real-life experiences – the good and the bad, the humor and the drama – from their own volunteer adventures.

Dogs: Funny Side Up!
Save a pit bull, BBQ a dogfighter! From Utah’s Best Friends Sanctuary (Nat Geo’s ‘Dogtown’) to the temples of Northern Thailand, Kelsey’s knack for recounting uproarious yet bizarrely educational tales offers readers an outrageously fresh perspective on the world of animal rescue and a life spent among man’s best friends. Caution! This is not your grandmother’s collection of warm, fuzzy, shelter dog tales for the soul. Kelsey’s satirical wit delivers a wildly irreverent bite to your funny-bone and won’t let go!
“Delightful! Worldly insightful! . . . Nola Lee Kelsey, a consummate writer who knows her stuff, has a quick mind and sharp wit, and it’s not all about dogs.” —Kaye Trout Book Reviews
“Nola Kelsey has dog-gone done it again! ‘Dogs: Funny Side Up!’ offers the plight of animal rescue organizations throughout the world delivered by the author’s trademark infectious wit and explosive candor. Kelsey’s personal stories of her adopted dogs and her work as a rescuer blend funny with fury, heart-warming and humorous yet also eye-opening for readers as they discover the emotional and difficult work of rescue organizations. Kelsey proves that her bark is just as potent as her bite.” —Joseph O. Patton, Publisher, Capital City Free Press
