basically id love to volunteer in africa or peru but every site demands a rip off fee off £1000 in some cases [admin charge?? ha]. now considering some dont pay for the flight and a visa costs £50 im not gonna get ripped off for volunteering, id happily pay my visa and flight but i expect accomadation and food sorted for me, so could anyone give me a good place to check out. also id like a casual job in spain for the winter [i know its hard] or a job in canada, as i say im not prepared to get ripped off and im not a student, any help please??

I suggest you check out United Nations Volunteers http://www.unv.org/ though you can't expect to be posted in a first world country like Canada. But if you want to really volunteer, then apply to them and check if they are looking for people with your expertise. UNV gives generous per diems that you can live with in the other country.
