We spent the weekend joining the Impact Trip Canang Sari Making Class and the Melukat ceremony at Tirta Empul. It was a very interesting and meaningful experience, a real chance to learn about Balinese culture.
Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the team guided us clearly through each part of the experience. We also enjoyed meeting other nomads who are just as interested in local culture as we are. Overall it was a wonderful and memorable day! We would definitely recommend it to others!
These guys really do amazing work and put on beautifully curated events. I always feel that any events and trips I attend will be helping to contribute to local causes and communities which is so important.
The events themselves always involves connecting with local communities and gives you the chance to really learn from knowledgeable and passionate individuals.
Honestly, Nomad's Giving Back are an inspiration, the world needs more people like this.
I had an amazing experience with Made and Mr. Mardika. I met them for a fire ceremony and meditation in Kelusa village, called Homa Yadnya in balinese culture. The priest, Mr Mardika, hold the ceremony and shared many insights from his culture. Made accompanied me throughout the ceremony and translated as we went along. The sharing was really enriching and authentic, I loved it and will come back with pleasure :-)

So glad Nomads Giving Back exists, to give us a way to connect with others who want to be givers and not takers. I enjoyed the get-togethers, getting to know other difference makers, and I love it that this gives me a way to volunteer at the same time I'm spending time with people I admire. Great concept, great team.
What a great community to hang out with! My initial goal was to meet new people (both locals and foreigners), and do activities together, so I started attending their Cultural Game Nights in Canggu, which are always a lot of fun. As adults, we sometimes take ourselves too seriously and forget to be playful, so those evenings are a great way of bringing back the fun after a busy week!
I’ve also joined one of their Impact Trips. I wanted to learn more about Bali’s culture and traditions, and travel a little off the beaten paths, where no traditional tour agency or guide would ever take me. I was lucky to share meaningful moments with a local family who taught me how to craft Balinese offerings in a remote village.
I really loved the concept of traveling beyond the sole purpose of visiting places, and of giving part of the proceeds to a family in need. I find any experience so much more valuable when it has meaning and purpose!
And if that weren't enough, I’ve also attended one of their online Masterminds, which was a great way for me to connect with fellow digital nomads/entrepreneurs and get support and feedback on my work.
Nomads Giving Back offers connections and experiences across the board, from tourism, to entertainment, to entrepreneurship. And to top it all off, the team members are super friendly, fun, and kind. Thank you so much guys for all you do. See you soon!

Y’all I am lowkey in like half of the pictures currently shared on here because Nomads Giving Back is SO WONDERFUL that I’ve been on multiple Impact Trips and attended numerous events with them!
I seriously cannot HYPE! the Nomads Giving Back team enough. Muti, Made, & Wisnu are all beautiful humans with lovely energy who make everyone who attend NGB events feel like friends. And founder Tarek has such a calming grounded energy…it really is just a MAGICAL group of people to be around.
As a nomad of over ten years I always WISHED there was something out there like NGB. So imagine my delight when I finally found it! I love the ways NGB gives back to the community through their volunteer matching program, giving scholarships to locals, and supporting a local family through having them teach their Balinese cultural heritage to tourists and travelers.
The NGB team is also super flexible and helpful and is currently helping me plan a special birthday adventure which I am STOKED about!
So yeah, literally cannot recommend NGB enough and if you come to an event or on a trip chances are you’ll see me so say hey! I cannot wait to see them go fully global and be in every community! Let’s make it happen! 🙌
