At The Village Experience, travel inspires impact. To date, TVE has operated over 800 responsible tourism programs around the world. Our programs have immersed nearly 3,000 travelers into our partner communities and impacted more than 25,000 people on the ground. Together, we have implemented programs to tackle social justice issues such as access to education & healthcare, women’s empowerment, and sustainability in these communities.

It is only through this unique relationship of responsible travel + philanthropy, that we have been able to raise $3,500,000 for our partner communities. You inspire and contribute to the impact…so keep traveling with The Village Experience!

One Love Movement’s Kenya Retreat will be led by Kim Bauman in partnership with The Village Experience. Students can expect daily yoga sessions, community Seva activities, and exciting responsible tourism offerings including safari and sailing!

KIM BAUMAN

Kim Bauman is a San Diego based yoga and meditation teacher and the founder of One Love Movement – a social justice nonprofit. One Love Movement has a mission of bringing people together to take action and build support for projects advancing social justice around the world. This initiative sprang from Kim’s travels to Haiti, India, Guatemala and around the United States. Kim works every day to give people a voice who otherwise wouldn’t be heard.
