inside/out provides life changing travel experiences for people who want to make a difference in the world. Our trips are designed around opportunities to do humanitarian volunteer work on meaningful international projects and are combined with sustainable eco-adventure travel in the local area of the project and people. These Humanitourism™ trips are designed to create longer-term relationships between communities and travelers.
"Without a
doubt the highlight of my winter, spring
and summer! I can't thank you enough for everything you
did to make it so fabulous"
--Mary S.
Humanitourism™ travel is a unique concept developed by inside/out. We created this concept to bridge the gap between volunteer vacations and active adventure travel. inside/out is the only place you can be assured of genuine Humanitourism™ adventures. The emphasis is on the connection between land, culture and people which takes sustainability to a much larger scale - the connection of humanity and a sustainable world. It isn't just about tourism or just contributing to a project, but really making a difference in the big picture and promoting understanding and world community.
Why Choose inside/out?
- We combine a balance of volunteer work with adventure travel, for an authentic and connecting experience beyond voluntourism.
You'll also have the best of both worlds with structure and flexibility. Days will be planned and led for you while evenings will remain free for you to explore and enjoy on your own.
- A portion of your trip cost is designated to help the project and people you will be visiting and working with. Trip costs are all-inclusive for the land portion, covering everything except dinners so that you can explore local cuisine on your own. You know in advance how much the trip will cost you.
- Our adventures are fully guided, organized and structured into your trip and are included in the trip price. At the same time, the adventures are flexible, should you decide that any of the components are not for you.
- Our travel and work on projects is socially responsible and sustainable. We use local providers for local travel and work side by side with members of the community on our projects.
- Your participation in projects is welcomed, meaningful and tangibly engaging. We work with projects that genuinely need our help. We are actively participating, not just visiting or "sightseeing" through a project.
- You will have the opportunity to truly get to know and experience the area and the people, concentrating your stay in one or two areas rather than skipping around to many different places with no time for connection.
- You will receive hands-on photo workshops throughout your trip to help you bring home more compelling images and to give you skills that will carry forward. I have 27 years of experience in photography with people, travel and the outdoors and am excited about sharing that experience with you.
