Between social functions, the Internet, television, smartphones, and the daily grind there’s always something going on. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just escape from it all? […]

One of the main points that we always touch when considering the pros and cons of working or volunteering abroad is the idea of culture shock. Imagine that you are in a new country where you:
* Don’t speak the language
* Don’t have access to a network of friends or family
* Can’t get home to see your family frequently
This means, you are likely going to run into some odd situations. For example, in Chile (and other South American countries) you have to weigh and pay for your food and bread at different sections around the supermarket, before you checkout. This might seem like a minor detail, but imagine that you are new in town and just want to get some groceries, and when you go to pay, everyone is yelling and pointing…this can be disheartening to say the least. This is culture shock.
