It is designed to promote the concept of Charity Travel and to encourage other travelers to follow the example. The Charity Travel Movement is the resulting worldwide travelers' movement seeking to implement our vision.

18 February 2011. Amsterdam, Netherlands. We have been in the Low Lands for more than a week now, went on a family visit and arranged some boring bureaucratic "stuff". The good news is that we are almost ready to go South by South-East (as those will be the predominant direction of our journey: south to Kenya first, than South-East to Capetown and hopping over to South America).

チャリティ・トラベル チャリティ・トラベル(CT)は、エキサイティングな旅行と小規模のチャリティ・プロジェクトのサポートを掛け合わせ、世界中を旅する一大冒険プロジェクトです。私たちはより多くの（若い）旅人たちに、このプロジェクトに参加してほしいと考えています。いまや政府や国際機関を通じなくても、本当に助けを必要としている小さなチャリティ活動に参加することができる時代。チャリティ・トラベルの目的は、まさにそれを証明することです。チャリティは人の役に立てると同時にエキサイティングでクールなものなのだと、一人でも多くの旅行者たちに向かって声を大にして言いたいと思います。 この旅行プロジェクトは2009年10月から2010年10月に行われます。中央アジアから始まり、トルコからエジプト、11月の末にはアフリカに到達します。3カ月間アフリカのナイロビやマプトの近くで過ごします。2月下旬

To underline this, we present on these pages a series of creative ideas from various fields. Feel free to suggest yours below!

We are promoting a concept/movement rather than an organization. You can join us simply by incorporating the idea of "charity travel" in your own journey. In the near future, we will plan a professional tour to empower the poorest communities on this planet with portable techniques and knowledge, but that's another story. Here we give you some useful guidelines for successful charity traveling.

Hello everybody, I am happy to be here today. What I want to share with you a concept that I call Charity Travel. It's actually very simple: the idea is to combine exciting traveling with simply doing something good. Together with my girlfriend Yeon I set out on a yearlong journey (October 09 til October 10) to 30 countries to demonstrate this concept. We were able to support over forty projects

Kun je de wereld verbeteren met reizen? Natuurlijk, er zijn excentriekelingen die een barre tocht ondernemen die wij dan per kilometer kunnen sponsoren. Of steenrijke filantropen die een armenkeuken organiseren op het dek van hun jacht. Maar als gewone stervelingen? Naast vanzelfsprekendheden zoals ecologisch en sociaal verantwoord reizen kunnen we toch niet veel doen, of we moeten gaan

Can you change the world by traveling? Sure, there are eccentrics who hop around the world on one leg and allow us to sponsor them, or rich philantrophes who organize a soup kitchen on the deck of their yacht. But the normal tax payer?
