Path to Discovering Purpose: Voluntourism

We sit down with Erin to explore the inspiring, often-overlooked side of voluntourism—the one rooted in real connection, cultural understanding, and personal purpose. Erin breaks down what voluntourism can look like when done intentionally and how it can open a door to a deeper sense of meaning through service abroad. We talk about the misconceptions Americans often carry, how Erin's time in Malawi reshaped her understanding of service, and how her nonprofit, 'With Change in Mind,' is guiding people toward travel that empowers communities rather than overshadowing them. She also shares the creative vision behind 'The Rogue Map' and the future adventures shaping her mission. This episode is all about finding purpose through travel and serving in a way that truly matters — for the traveler and community.   WithChangeInMind.org
