First of all, if you are considering being a volunteer while traveling, or a “voluntourist”, then pat yourself on the back! You are making an incredible decision that will change your life forever in one way or another. These days it is so important to consider giving back to communities when engaging in tourism. Oftentimes, we as tourists visit destinations and take away all that we can for our own pursuit while truly never touching on the authenticity of the land or people! Tourists take yet rarely give more than just a small amount of money that trickles down to a select few organizations in the ripple effect. Here at Volunteer Voyages, we believe that we can be a part of changing the inequality in that trend and focus on sustainable, meaningful tourism! Let’s travel to destinations where our presence and our efforts can be appreciated and felt. Let’s soak up the true culture of the local inhabitants by closely connecting with their lives. Let’s enrich their lives while fulfilling our hearts.

Join us on a volunteer voyage!

I had an amazing experience traveling with Volunteer Voyages.  I absolutly loved connecting with the people in Peru in a way that one could never get with a typical tourism organization.  My heart opened greatly from this trip, as I gave myself to the experience of teaching the people of Paro Paro how to make solar stoves.  It was fun, enlightening and everything I wanted from a volunteer trip.  Thank you Amber and David!

There Are No Words

My two sons and I had the joy of going to Peru to help build water filters in 2010.   Being able to work side by side with the local residents in a small community out side of Cajamarca, Peru, gave us a chance to not only help, but also have a true cultural experience of life in the community. Dr. Krier and his staff are wonderful!   They are well organized, and their careful  planning and knowledge of the location assured comfortable and safe accommodations along with excellent local cuisine for our meals.    They provided local guides for some well organized wonderful trips to Machu Pichu and other sights.   Traveling with Volunteer Voyages is the opportunity for a trip of a lifetime!
