Description
At Roadmonkey, we believe in a different kind of travel – one that combines rugged adventure with meaningful volunteer work to give you a deeply gratifying experience abroad. Our expeditions take you off the tourist path, to truly explore a foreign land and culture on your own terms. At some point along the way, we roll up our sleeves and accomplish a hands-on volunteer project that directly benefits local people and communities in need. The idea is to take the roads less traveled, explore the world with all your senses and make it a little bit better. We call it adventure travel with a social conscience. Or maybe it’s creative volunteering with a dose of wanderlust.
