Connecting Communities - Changing Lives.
Destination Dreaming is an Australian owned and operated organisation that works with groups to provide meaningful, Off-The-Grid cultural and leadership immersions.
Destinations include:
Fijian Highlands
Timor-Leste
Nepal
Since 2004, we have been connecting communities and changing the lives of people across the Asia Pacific region. Destination Dreaming is built on a foundation of community partnerships and inspiring, inquiry based programs that celebrate our common humanity, whilst respecting and engaging with difference. ‘Same Planet - Different World’
We are a niche, experienced team of educators who value quality and impact over quantity. Our focus is to facilitate the best programs for schools, companies and teams, not the most!
Since 2004, we have educated thousands of students and their teachers about the dangers of volunteerism, the negative impact of orphanage visits and the need to put community development before convenience and self interests. With equal partnerships always at our core, we lead the way when it comes to responsible community engagement.
What sets us apart from other providers.
We strictly work with groups only. We do not set “tour” dates and sell seats. Our key aim is to help establish on-going community partnerships and increase cross-cultural awareness. ‘Connecting Communities’
Our programs are not project based poverty-tourism style experiences. We provide you with the opportunity to connect with locals, develop friendships and gain a deeper understanding of your host community.
We work with you to identify a meaningful link to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
All our programsare tailor designed to your group's primary outcomes and objectives. An unconditional commitment to establishing mutually beneficial outcomes for both your group and the host community.
We don’t sell programs online. It’s important we get to know each other before we travel to these remote locations. This ensures we have shared values and expectations before working together.
All our programs have been device free since 2004. We were one of the first in Australia to introduce this type of digital detox initiative years before smartphones and tablets were on the market.
