Have you ever wanted to do something different? Five years ago Will Slade read about an organisation called earthwatch. Eearthwatch finds volunteers for expeditions to study and explore different parts of the word.
Will decided to join an expedition to study elephants in Africa. 'I wasn't sure about it before I went." says Will. "But in fact I really enjoyed every minute of the expedition. We slept in tents and we cooked our own food, but it was great to see the elephants and all the other animals there."
He has counted birds in the rain forests of South America. He has planted trees in Europe and he has studied whales in the Pacific Ocean. 
"Only my last expedition I was in Hawaii. We were on a small island. We got up at 6a.m. every morning and had our breakfast. Then we went out in the boats and we looked for whales. We spent most of the day in the boat. We photographed the whales, counted them, and we recorded their songs. Whales sing to each other, you know. In the evenings we put all the data into the computer. It was hard work, but we had a lot of fun, and I learnt a lot, too."
