At Purposeful Nomad we really try and reconstruct the standard idea of giving back, volunteering, service- whatever you choose to call it. We have found the most impactful way to “give” is to actually “receive.” Being open as travelers to receiving information, stories, history and cultural education is one of the best things we can do to give back in an authentic and honest way. The “give back” part of this is creating a mutual understanding and respect between cultures which organically leads to supporting and helping the non-profits, organizations and individuals we choose to work with during our trips.
