Travel By Design: Volunteer Travel

“He who does not travel does not know the value of men.” – Moorish proverb

Ecology, sustainability, social and economic development are the underpinnings of volunteer travel. Many travelers, particularly socially-responsible ones, use travel opportunities as a way to give back to communities in need. Although voluntourism isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, these types of experiences can bring travelers new perspectives on people, places and cultures and change the lives of everyone involved whether on the giving or receiving end of a good deed.
