Shalom, salaam, and greetings from the Holy Land! We at GoEco are based here in Israel so this beautiful, multicultural, multifaith country holds a special place in our hearts. Besides the expansive beaches of Tel Aviv, incredible history of Jerusalem, and the free-flowing hummus, this little country has an unbelievable amount of places to go and things to see. Travelers to the Land of Milk and Honey have a lot of options to volunteer, whether it be with animals at a wildlife reserve, helping with the Red Sea coral reef conservation effort, or learning sustainable building at an eco-tourism hotel in the desert.
