💳 Budgeting for Volunteer Travel

Always have small notes handy for public toilets or tolls.

🎒 Packing with Purpose

Keep valuables in a money belt or hidden pouch.

Stay in eco-lodges that use renewable energy.

  • Try Local Food Safely: Street food can be amazing, but look for stalls with long lines and fresh turnover.

  • Backup Money Options: Carry a mix of card and cash. Keep an emergency stash separate from your main wallet.

✨ Stories of Service & Impact

Turning off a busy street, you stumble into a quiet courtyard. Flowers spill from balconies, a fountain trickles, and time seems to slow. Sometimes the most memorable discoveries are the unexpected ones.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. – African Proverb”

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote: to travel is to live. – Hans Christian Andersen”
