I mentioned in an early post that I would be explaining who The FreeWalkers are, the story behind these two is one that cannot be easily put into words. I was going to try and remember everything that they have told us about how this all began but instead I'll just copy and paste from their Facebook page!
What is Freewalker?
Freewalker is a state of being…it is humanitarian, adventure, and freeing, it is realizing that one person can make a difference...and that person can be you!
Freewalker is a Volunteer & Adventures for Charity organization that is doing its part in making a difference in South Africa, while having fun at the same time! The mission of Freewalker is to create sustainable solutions in the fields of education, conservation, healthcare, and community development through international volunteering, while providing opportunity for volunteers to experience the adventure of exploring South Africa’s diverse landscapes, colourful cultures, ancient history and abundant wildlife.
Who is this crazy Freewalker Team?
Freewalker’s Team, consisting of Murray Luscombe and Jordana Meyer, guarantee to make your stay the most memorable one in South Africa! Like it or not, they are with you 24/7 and ready to help you with anything at any time. Murray is a local enthusiast, passionate about his country and is always coming up with innovative ways to have fun and Jordana is a wildlife biologist from the USA who thrives on sharing the wonders of this country with fellow travellers. Each volunteer is unique, and they make it top priority to understand what an individual is hoping to gain from their experience and then going the extra mile to make sure that is fulfilled. The Team prides themselves on making the stay unforgettable! You dream it and we at Freewalker make it possible!
IN A NUTSHELL....
We are just two enthusiastic, dynamic people trying to make a difference in this World and realized the impact of a small deed….We wanted to give travellers a different taste of this amazing Country…take them under our wings and share with them the wonders of a new culture, explore the vastly diverse landscapes and most importantly show them how they can make such a difference in another’s life with a simple smile or help to save endangered wildlife with passion in their hearts, and all while having the time of their lives! Therefore, Freewalker was created!
I am very much enjoying your commentary and pictures.....continue to enjoy your time there.
