Volunteering at the Sloth Sanctuary Costa Rica.
 
The title says it all really. I'm spending two weeks over Christmas/New Year volunteering at the world's only Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica. Sloth Sanctuary

For $30 a day I get a bed in the volunteer house, three meals a day and I get to feed, look after and generally help out with the 100 or so sloths they have in the sanctuary. It's very hands on and a great experience. Lots of photos (after all they don't run away quickly!) and a few videos on my blog at the moment.

The Dom way round

If you're travelling through Costa Rica this is a great way to spend a little time (cheaply) in an expensive country. 11KM north of Cahuita and only an hour north of the Panamanian/Costa Rican border (on the Caribbean). But email them as they only have room for 8 volunteers and are often full.

Those sloths are some of the cutest animals I've ever seen....especially when reaching longingly for you with their silly grins or spreadeagled on towels on the tables while they eat their fresh veggies. A highly-recommended stop, and although the boat tour is kind've tame the close up looks at the sanctuary and its primary inhabitants is priceless.
