Volunteering around the world
More than a skills exchange — a meaningful sharing of life.
Kind hosts, generous moments, and reminders of our shared humanity.
Here are a few glimpses from projects in Southeast Asia and Southern Europe.
Arrived as the final touches were being made to a family-run B&B, lovingly built by hand in the mountains of Monchique. Contributed to the garden and created visual content for their new website, including a short teaser video capturing the spirit and care behind their dream project.

In the mountains of Monchique, I volunteered at a self-sustaining farmhouse focused on growing its own food. I helped with the garden and documented their sustainable techniques, creating visual memories that reflect their commitment to living in harmony with nature.

On the island of Coron, an ecotourism project led by locals and rooted in the traditions of the Tagbanua people. Created audiovisual pieces for social media, capturing castaway-style experiences where Indigenous knowledge guides the way—cooking, sewing, and living in rhythm with nature. Days unfolded without electricity, powered only by the sun and community spirit.
This journey is still unfolding—more stories and shared moments with generous hosts will be added soon.
