Welcome fellow travellers, volunteers, sportspeople, foodies and adventurers!
Vagamundo New Zealand now concentrates on volunteer and sports-travel or food-travel projects.
Vagamundo means "to dare to take on the world with freedom and imagination."
We want you to dare to volunteer whilst travelling. We plan to specialise in volunteer projects for 16 - 18 year old international students who come to New Zealand for an academic year and who want to come and make a difference.
We also offer other volunteering projects such as the volunteer teaching project in Chile and other travel projects are for sports-travel or foodie-travel. Each year tournaments are run in Argentina for school-age participants in rugby, hockey and soccer. There will also be opportunities in the future for other sports travel such as Eat,Play,Dance tours of Argentina and Chile and 7's rugby tours to Argentina.
We have been involved in the international education industry since 2007, providing specialist business coaching to schools wanting to get involved in hosting international students. This work has now been moved to International Education Services. www.intedservices.com.
Suzette Eastmond is the Director of both companies. A former high school teacher and Director of International students, her passion for South America began back in 1995 when she took her school hockey team on a tour to Chile and Argentina. Since 2004 she has travelled back each year, pursuing her business interests and establishing trusted partner links. These travel and volunteer projects are the culmination of her dream of sharing her passions of South America, sport, food and education. Please feel free to contact her on behalf of either company using the email below.
