The Wish List 

Welcome to my journey of exploration, cultural immersion, and volunteering! As the heart and soul behind Wandering Monkey, I believe that travel is not just about visiting new places but about experiencing life in all its richness. On this page, I share my upcoming travel plans, the places I wish to volunteer, and the duration of each adventure. Each destination will involve cultural inclusion of indigenous people, offering a deeper understanding of their traditions, wisdom, and way of life.
