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.
Phenomenal Photo Stream from Nicaragua
I love these images from Empowerment International Director (and friend) Kathy Adams and her Nica protégées. Kathy, other volunteers, and Nicaraguan community leaders provide numerous education programs to children in a village outside Granada called Villa Esperanza. Enjoy the photos, poke around EI’s site, then check out these opportunities to get involved. Pictured above is Joseline, daughter of a community leader in Villa Esperanza. Reports Kathy:
“One day I gave her the camera … Very quickly she became adept at using it so I had her take photos of each child we were considering for the program. It was then that I realized the power of giving children the opportunity to learn photography.”
