Conor Grennan didn't even like kids when he flew to Nepal in 2004 to work for a few months in an orphanage. The idea only came to him, he said, after friends kept asking about why he wasn't planning on including some volunteer work in the year-long trip around the world he had planned.

"I didn't go to Nepal to kind of save the lost children of Nepal," said Grennan. But after bragging to a girl in a bar about his plans to volunteer, that's exactly what he ended up doing.
