Joe and Tasha have done a lot of travelling and a lot of volunteering. Those used to be separate activities.

Now they actively seek out volunteering opportunities when they have some time off to travel. They see somewhere new, do something good, meet great people and have more enriching experiences together.

Some 'voluntourism' is rightly criticised for milking travellers, exploiting host communities and feeding white saviour narratives but choose the right place to help with the right organisation (like Refugee Support) and it's a massive win for everyone.
