Why us
Our mission:
Our mission is to share this wonderful world with our readers so that they are inspired to visit new places, take memorable adventures and travel in a meaningful way.
Our values
When we travel we try to experience a destination from a local’s perspective.
From staying in homestays or family owned establishments to eating at local markets and travelling on local transport. We love to shop at ethically run, local shops and enjoy learning new local skills. We also try to volunteer in an area if we are staying there for an extended period. (Our site also promotes free volunteering projects around the world).
Who we are
We are Paul and Karen, a couple in our mid-thirties, with an insatiable passion for travel.
Karen is a business psychologist by profession and travels to near and distant parts of the world delivering workshops to global organizations. Paul worked as a retail manager in London before starting to work full time on globalhelpswap.
In 2010 we fulfilled a life-long dream and took an 18-month sabbatical to travel around the world. We left London on a train and made it to South East Asia without taking a single plane. Our adventure was an experience that inspired to birth of globalhelpswap.
Why work with us
We take our job seriously and work hard to deliver great results for our clients. We are professional, reliable, and easy to work with.
We have an endless capacity for enthusiasm. We are able to spot the little things that create magic in our world and tell a story that conveys that magic to our readers.
