The big idea
Our mission is to build and sustain cross-cultural communities in beautiful places that benefit locals and visiting members; inspiring positive change within and far beyond the village.
A maximum of 30 tribe members spend a minimum of 1 week at a time living alongside a local team and community immersed in the day to day running and development of the village.
For our members its about playing a part – however small – in something positive, adventurous, and in some cases, life-changing.
When you take part in Tribewanted you’re not sacrificing your hard earnt time-out for a intense volunteer programme nor are you replacing a much-needed beach holiday.
You’re relaxing, learning, connecting, playing. You’re joining a community. A real one.
Its not a weird cult. Its cross-cultural living. In just a week or two it can change the way you think about a lot of things. And even if it doesn’t, you’ll have the time of your life. Just ask those who have already done it.
For our local communities Tribewanted is about kick-starting the kind of sustainable development they’re looking for but cannot achieve on their own. It’s a partnership. And in the long-term it’s their project to lead.
Between our local communities, teams, partners and members we co-fund, co-create, co-build our communities.
We know it’s not a perfect model – flying around the world every year undermines our projects sustainability. But, if we stop flying – if we stop building better communities; if we cut off the understanding that’s generated when two cultures or more mix in safe, beautiful places – then we won’t progress. It’s a work in progress which we measure as best we can as we grow.
Health warning!
Please make sure you have a flexible return ticket. Too many of our members have underestimated the addictive nature of tribal living and ended up pushing back their return ‘home’ again and again. And in some cases, they haven’t gone yet…
So… what are you waiting for? Go find your tribe. Join us. Belong.
