πŸ’³ Budgeting for Volunteer Travel

Stretch your budget in Kathmandu by using local-friendly currency solutions and traveler discounts.

Always have small notes handy for public toilets or tolls.

πŸŽ’ 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.
  • Carry a Power Bank: Phones die fast when you’re navigating, taking photos, or translating. Keep a spare battery handy.
  • 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.

β€œIf you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. – African Proverb”

β€œTo 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”
