Actxplorer is a travel-based social enterprise that aims to fight poverty by creating an inclusive and sustainable environment for local communities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and social enterprises to benefit from tourism, volunteerism and impact investment.
We provide an Internet marketplace platform where locals’ stories and experiences can be shared with the world. We connect locals to the travelers around the globe who desire to participate in these experiences and adventures.
We believe that while travelers seek fun and excitement in new overseas adventures, it is the purpose and meaning behind the experience, and the act of doing good, understanding and engaging a fellow human being that eventually gives them a deeper sense of fulfillment and joy.
I feel really happy after visiting Jakarta, YPU, and KDM. At first, I thought that this trip will be boring but I didn’t regret coming on this trip with my class. I think that my class spirit has become stronger and together as a class we can achieve a lot more together. I initially thought that visiting a country so close to Singapore will be a waste of time but I realised that Jakarta is a really nice place with a lot of interesting cultures and wonderful people. The people I’ve met at YPU and KDM are very friendly and always smiling, I will try to learn to be as positive as them.

We were really happy that we have helped built the foundation for community-based tourism in Hua Tat Village through technology and education. By creating an informative bilingual website on Hua Tat village and educating the homestay owners on online marketing tools such as Facebook and Email, we hope it has helped them connect with more international tourists. To improve tourist engagement, we have empowered the villagers with the ability to conduct cultural workshops independently and created bilingual brochures to resolve language barriers. Our English classes has not only equipped them with basic English conversational skills but also the ability to continue learning with online tools such as Google Translate. Witnessing how the villagers were able to put what they have learnt into practice was our greatest takeaway.

From the trip to Bintan, I learnt from my interaction and interviews with the families that most of the families are originally from another city in Indonesia and have lived in Bintan for about more than 15 years. They cannot go back, or find it hard to go back home due to the lack of job opportunities. They are mostly worried about their children’s future. I believe that more children can be supported with better quality and more accessibility to higher education. I also think it could be helpful if we could find some job opportunities for them to try out to better support their families as well.

Our experience with Actxplorer to Vietnam is so very different from the usual travel trips we’ve had – a trip that brings up the contrast between people in abject poverty, and people with plenty that got us thinking about how we can contribute to reducing the inequality we see in the region.

Chatting with our young guides we found out they were university students and part-time guides. They were extremely well-behaved and really responsible, disciplined young gentlemen. They were always explaining about how they would eat the food presented before us, how it differs from region to region, and shared a bit about their lives living in HCMC. This was definitely the highlight of our trip – to meet the locals while eating scrumptious food.

Having the opportunity to interact with children ranging from preschool ages, to street children, to communities at a Shan village in Lashio (during volleyball lessons) really opened my eyes to the cultures of the different areas in Myanmar. I was touched by how the various communities and local volunteers make full use of what they have in their capacity to help those that were in need.
