Sri Lanka Endless beaches, timeless
ruins, welcoming people,
oodles of elephants, fun
trains, famous tea, and
flavorful food – need I go
on?
Poised just above the
equator amid the balmy
waters of the Indian
Ocean, the island’s
legendary reputation for
natural beauty and plenty
has inspired an almost
magical regard even in
those who have never
visited the place.
Sri Lanka is spectacular,
it’s affordable and it’s still
mostly uncrowded. Now is
the best time to discover
it!

Brazil One of the world’s most
captivating places,
Brazil is South America’s
giant, a dazzling country of
powdery white-sand
beaches, pristine rain forests
and wild, rhythm-filled
metropolises. Brazil’s
attractions extend from
enchanting, frozen-in-time
colonial towns to dramatic
landscapes of red-rock
canyons, thundering
waterfalls and idyllic tropical
islands. Add to that, Brazil’s
biodiversity: legendary in
scope, its diverse ecosystems
boast the greatest collection
of plant and animal species
found anywhere on earth.

volunteers to provide basic English and Spanish classes

Be an Enterpreneur – Mozaiko
Brazilian NGOs, historically, have always faced
difficulties with regard to its management which makes
its impact much lower than its potential. Because of
that, the Mozaiko Project aims to bring international
volunteers to work on the identification of problems of
management of NGOs and its processes in order to
improve its performance, such as a consultancy service.
Make Aware – Diplomatique

to debate about relevant issues on the international

Indonesia The world’s fourth most
populace country – 245
million and counting –
is a sultry kaleidoscope
that runs along the
equator for 5000km. It
may well be the last great
adventure on earth. From
the western tip of Sumatra
to the eastern edge of
Papua, this nation defies
homogenization. It is a
land of so many cultures,
peoples, animals, customs,
plants, features, artworks
and foods that it is like 100
countries melded into one.

China Antique yet up-to-the-
minute, familiar yet
unrecognizable, outwardly
urban but quintessentially
rural, conservative yet
path breaking… China with
its mosaic of 56 different
ethnic groups is a land of
mesmerizing and eye-
opening contradictions.
Awe-inspiring antiquities,
out-of-this-world flavours
and stupendous sceneries
are just some examples of
what you can expect from
the place everyone is
talking about.

Vietnam Blessed with a ravishing coastline, emerald-green mountains, breathtaking national parks, dynamic cities, outstanding cultural interest and one of the world’s best cuisines, Vietnam has it all.
Vietnam is a nation going places. Fast. Its people are energetic, direct, sharp in commerce and resilient by nature. This is an outrageously fun country to explore, the locals love a laugh (and a drink) and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to socialize with them and hear their tales. The American War is over, and yet its impact endures – you’ll find reminders of that cataclysmic conflict everywhere you travel. That said, the country was never broken and emerged with its pride intact. Poor in parts but never squalid, Vietnam is developing at an astonishing pace. For travelers, there are issues to consider (including minor scams), but little real danger – on the whole it’s a safe, wonderfully rewarding and incredibly varied country to explore.

November 2010 by AIESEC in HoChiMinh City. With
