volunteering
whether traveling or living somewhere for a longer period of time, we enjoy finding ways to connect more deeply with a community and what's going on in it. we have found that volunteering your time to help people in need or come together and work on bigger projects that enrich the community will introduce you to amazing people, teach you about your community or at least give you that good feeling when you've completed something that will benefit others. below are some of the projects and organizations we enjoy and have enjoyed working with.
