🌐 - What if your next vacation changed a community and changed you? In this episode, Jake sits down with Kimberly Haley-Coleman, founder/CEO of Globe Aware, to unpack the reality of short-term, no-politics/no-proselytizing volunteer vacations—one-week service projects designed to build cultural awareness, gratitude, and real-world impact.
What you’ll learn:
*How one-week service trips can be ethical, safe, and sustainable
*Why projects are community-led (not “voluntourism” done to people)
*The mindset shift: from consumer travel to service adventure
*Real projects: concrete floors in Guatemala, wheelchairs in Cambodia, homes in Kenya, community builds in Costa Rica & South Africa
*Family-friendly service, safety standards, accommodations, and costs
*How cultural immersion builds empathy you bring home to your own neighborhood
