Volunteer trips abroad for two

You dream of one Volunteer trip and life in a culture that has been foreign to you so far? However, you would prefer together with your best friend or best friend go out in pairs? Then decide for yourself Volunteering abroad! Because this not only enables you to travel together, but also to make a positive contribution together on site!

Only 12% of people in Germany traveled alone in 2023, 69% for two (2023), which is why tips for traveling together can be found more and more often on the Internet. No matter whether you are traveling with your partner, your sister, your buddy or your best friend – traveling as a couple brings with it a lot of advantages!

Traveling together 5 reasons

5 reasons why it makes sense to volunteer together as a couple

1) A piece of home in your luggage, farewell to homesickness!

With your partner or friend, you won't feel homesick at all. Loneliness is a foreign word on a journey for two. If the strange faces get too much for you, you will see the smile of your companion, which makes you feel at home. You can make new friends together, because isn't it easier to approach others as a couple?

2) A confidant by your side

At the same time, you always have someone you trust by your side who, for example, will look after your suitcase when you go to the toilet at a train station. You can also give her/him your cell phone to have photos taken of you. In the same way, you can share the total costs in everything and thus save some money.

3) Experience adventure through thick and thin

On a Volunteer trip you spend a lot of time together. You find yourself in situations that would be unimaginable at home. There is no question that your adventures and unique experiences will bring you even closer together and you will become a team that draws inspiration from one another and overcomes challenges together.

4) Always get to know something new - also to yourself and your companion

Through new experiences and challenges you will get to know yourself and each other even better. Maybe you're getting to know your travel partner in a different way when his/her stomach is growling. Impatient or rather inventive? Or you notice a strength that offsets your own weakness. How does your girlfriend react when she's been walking in her uncomfortable sneakers all day? Or how about when you both settle into a slower rhythm and start enjoying together? Patience for and joy in the travel partner are two nouns that will shape you.

5) Shared memories for life

Have you ever felt that you came home from a life-changing experience, beaming with joy and wanting to tell everyone about it, and nobody really understood what you were feeling? Memories are difficult to reproduce. Especially from a long-term trip with many experiences. The moment you watch the sunset from Flag Rock in Sri Lanka with your loved one, or make coconut oil with your best friend in Togo, or build watering holes for desert elephants in Namibia with your buddy... Then those moments become memories that will cherish in both of your hearts forever remain. You share memories for life!

Together on a volunteer journey with a common goal in mind

In einer Volunteering or one Internship you combine travel with a common goal. Shared goals also strengthen the partnership or friendship with the “best bud”! You make a difference and gain valuable experience. Make your dreams come true and find out at which locations you can volunteer with your girlfriend/boyfriend and which travel destinations are possible.
