From building schools in remote villages to conserving wildlife habitats, volunteer tourism promises to be an enriching way to travel. But how can you be sure the work you’re doing is really helping?
During today’s show, we cover the key things you need to know when it comes to travelling with a purpose, like how to choose responsible programs, the impact of the work you’re doing, plus the personal rewards and challenges of this growing trend.
We also hear from Valentina Raffel, who shares her insights on responsible volunteering and the establishment of her organisation, Statera Collective.
