What’s interesting about volunteer tourism?
If you are bored with lavish vacations at 5-star hotels, or high-speed back packing tours, why not try another form of travel. Volunteer tourism offers a unique and meaningful travel experience that gives back to the community.
What is volunteer tourism?
Volunteer tourism opportunities give you the chance to sightsee, explore and learn about a culture, all while giving back to the community in a meaningful way. There are so many ways volunteers can help; environmental protection, natural disaster prevention and recovery, education, building homes and schools and much more. It gives you the chance to be both a tourist and volunteer.
Volunteer tourism takes places in destinations that are famously beautiful and rich in culture but that also face huge economic and environmental struggles such as famine and natural disasters. Choosing to do volunteer tourism gives you the chance to see incredible sights and learn about unique cultures all while making a positive impact in a deprived area.
What can you gain from volunteer tourism?
Cultural Imersion
Often travel involves rushing from one beautiful sight to the next, snapping photos and hunting for the next perfect Instagram moment. Volunteer tourism presents the opportunity to slow down, get to know a place and learn more about the local people and their way of life. It is your opportunity to see yourself as a local, try a new lifestyle, and learn what daily life is like for them. We welcome our volunteers to learn more about the many cultural identities in the area, their foods, their traditions and so much more. Traveling in this way can give lets you learn by living, not just by listening to a tour guide speak. You are sure to make memories that will last a lifetime!
Gain New Skills and Insights
Another reason you should consider volunteer tourism is that you will have the opportunity to gain insights into yourself and another culture. Volunteer tourism involves experiences that are exciting and unique but also challenging: eating new and unfamiliar foods, staying in people’s homes, culture shock, unpredictable weather, wading through streams, climbing mountains and so much more. You will do things you never thought you could and develop an incredible respect for the local people, to whom all these things are normal.
You will also develop a myriad of new skills. Volunteering will teach you many soft skills such as teamwork, conflict resolution, mediation, and adaptability. There are also ample opportunities to develop a wide range of practical skills including: public speaking, teaching English, game management, repairing houses, installing electric lines, and making crafts. All these skills will serve you both in life and in your career.
Lastly volunteer tourism gives you the chance to reflect on your own life, and perhaps learn to appreciate it in a new light. Most importantly you will see that despite the many differences in our cultures, there is so much more we share in our humanity.
