About this listen

If you want a different perspective on life—and a way to make a real contribution—Timor-Leste is a remarkable place to volunteer.

I spent a year living in Dili, the capital, volunteering with a local NGO, a government department, and supporting several small businesses. It was an unforgettable and deeply rewarding experience. Volunteering in a country very different from your own isn't always easy, and it's not for everyone, but it can be genuinely life-changing.

This episode draws from my own experience, and from conversations with locals, expats, and other volunteers.

I answer 1. Why Volunteer in Timor-Leste? 2. Which organisation to volunteer through? 3. Which organisations to volunteer with? 4. Advice for those considering volunteering 5. Impact and Legacy – What Difference Can You Actually Make? 6. Reverse Culture Shock – Coming Home Can Be Harder Than Leaving
