Giving Back While Traveling

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @amandakendle A3- In my personal opinion, misrepresentation (exaggeration) of facts to the world about a place causes severe issues. And charity work; that is time-bound without bringing any structural change to the areas highlighted for poverty, inequality, and illiteracy. #TTOT

RT @SonjaSwissLife: Q2 via @SharLivingstone What ethical ways are there to give back to communities while traveling? #TTOT

replying to @StuartMHurlbut @StuartMHurlbut @TravelDudes It makes me cringe every time I see a photo like that on social media because I know that most people are trying and think they are doing good, but they're really not when you dig into it. #TTOT

A2 You have lots of good suggestions to work on. Do you vet the volunteer organizations beforehand & could you give some recommendations in Question 4? Thanks #TTOT https://t.co/LeQYMC0vHM

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @amandakendle A3. There are many problems. Under qualified tourists taking jobs from locals. Doing harm by encouraging bad practices. As an example the proliferation of orphanages full of children who have parents etc. #TTOT

replying to @dave_coles @dave_coles @travelhouseuk @Africanbluebird So 80% got sold to orphanages? There can be many reasons why they are there. I can't imagine that most get sold. Is that like that? #ttot

A3 This is very important for people to realise & the biggest issues in my opinion also. From "misrepresentation" to fraud to crime. We all have to work with known experts in order to participate. #TTOT https://t.co/0MAMXFU10M
