When you travel with Dream Volunteers, you travel with a team that knows the country inside and out. From the moment you touch down in your destination, you are welcomed by local staff who are eager to share all that they love about their culture and country. These trip guides will be with you throughout your trip and quickly become trusted friends. You will appreciate their enthusiasm, value their knowledge and expertise, and rely on their careful attention to all the group needs and logistics. Upon arrival in the villages where you will serve, you will be welcomed with food and drink in whatever local tradition is common. You are greeted as friends and quickly become part of the extended “family.”

Because we travel to some lesser-known destinations, you will also see parts of the country many other travelers may never get to. Every service trip includes an element of exploration and you will be introduced to places of immeasurable natural beauty and cultural wonders. Be sure to bring a camera, you will want to capture these memories!

And finally, because you are coming to serve, you will leave not as a tourist but with deep connections to the communities you visit. You will grow from the experience — you will learn about places and traditions that you may not have known about, you may deepen your language skills or comfort communicating with folks whose language is not your own, but most importantly you will also gain the confidence of having made a difference in a community that values your contribution.
