The Tranquilo Traveler
The Tranquilo Traveler is a celebration of voluntourism, slow travel, and other interesting ways to see the world. Travel writer and award- winning Moon Handbooks author Joshua Berman created The Tranquilo Travel as a resource for world trippers and international volunteers, a window to the author’s travels in Nicaragua, Belize, and beyond, and an update of his books and articles.
Voluntourism on the Rise: More Links

Here’s a great resource: Travel With A Challenge has all kinds of articles and links on volunteering abroad, especially for families and mature travelers. I like the way the article, “Volunteer Vacations are Contagious,” by Mary Jo Pehl, deals with the transformative nature of volunteering.
“Everyone is idealistic at first on these trips”, Ricki reflected. “Then you see real life with real people with real problems on their own territory.”
Bonus links at the bottom of the page go to Voluntourists Without Borders and The Land Conservancy.
