Hard Earned Travel Tips - Shannon O'Donnell

Shannon O'Donnell has been traveling nonstop for the past five years. Like anybody who has been in a job for years, she's developed an expertise in globe-trotting that has helped her create a resource for people looking for volunteer opportunities in countries that aren't their own, called "Grassroots Volunteering". She also shares some of her hard-earned travel wisdom that she regularly dispenses on her personal website, "A Little Adrift". For all of her efforts, she has earned the honor of being one of National Geographic Traveler magazine's "Travelers of the Year" for 2013.
