Surfpop: surfing for a better future.

For a long time, I wanted to travel solo and visit South Africa. I felt like joining a volunteering program to meet people from different cultures and give something back to a local community. Through others I heard about Surfpop. Since I am a passionate surfer, this volunteering program was a perfect match.
I did a lot of research on the sustainability of the various volunteering programs. For me it was very important to only provide good things to the community and not be a part of volunteerism with negative implications. Surfpop matched with everything I was looking for. They provide help to disadvantaged kids in all aspects of life and they help them until they have a proper job or can go to college; until they have a future.

Cape Town is such an amazing city. It has the most beautiful coastline, beaches and waves. You can also hike the stunning hills and mountains. The city center has a vibrant social culture and many creative spots to go to. Great food and the surf is awesome. The combination of all these things makes Cape Town my favorite travel destination

I would recommend it to anyone who wants to do something meaningful and fun. Surfpop works on a sustainable future for the disadvantaged children. Everything about my trip was special. I loved helping the kids with their surfing and seeing them improve. The people I met were really nice, and I learned a lot about myself too. It was a great adventure.
