Join Charity Travel
We are promoting a concept/movement rather than an organization. You can join us simply by incorporating the idea of "charity travel" in your own journey. In the near future, we will plan a professional tour to empower the poorest communities on this planet with portable techniques and knowledge, but that's another story.

Hello everybody, I am happy to be here today. What I want to share with you a concept that I call Charity Travel. It's actually very simple: the idea is to combine exciting traveling with simply doing something good.
Together with my girlfriend Yeon I set out on a yearlong journey (October 09 til October ...
Reizigers kunnen meer dan consumeren.
Kun je de wereld verbeteren met reizen? Natuurlijk, er zijn excentriekelingen die een barre tocht ondernemen die wij dan per kilometer kunnen sponsoren. Of steenrijke filantropen die een armenkeuken organiseren op het dek van hun jacht. Maar als gewone stervelingen? Naast vanzelfsprekendheden zoals ecologisch en sociaal verantwoord reizen kunnen we toch niet veel doen, of ...
Traveller können mehr als nur konsumieren.
Kann man die Welt mit Reisen verbessern? Klar, es gibt Exzentriker die einbeinig um die Welt hüpfen und wir dürfen dann pro Kilometer spenden.

June 27. K.L.
We don't get up too early, and stretch the morning. You know what I mean, just being without pretentions.

In the afternoon, we attempt to hitchhike towards Kuala Lumpur, and our first few lifts are easy. They take us to the right gas station where we could try to get a lift.

June 26. Buddha.
After a long night of dreaming, we have a light breakfast together consisting of fruit and a puree of green vegetables, along with cashew nuts. and raw cookies that haven't been warmer than about 45 degrees. I like it, I like the inventiveness of it, even though I am not a vegan or raw food ...
