He was not just a simple volunteer but he was the one introducing and helping me to explore the workaway volunteering world and culture.

I was really happy to meet zied and help him working on his dream . After travelling around the world he came back to Tunisia to his hometown in the south and decided to create a big outdoor festival . He started the first edition few years ago and in march 2020 it ll be the fourth edition with a lot of new activities .. on the 3rd edition the… read more festival" won the the price of the best festival in remote areas from the tourism minister . Dozens of friends especially nature lovers are already helping him with the organisation . When I met him I explained the idea of workaway and he really liked it so joined the workaway hosts family looking for international volunteers that they can help to promote more the festival and especially the village "zammour" . Zammour is really a unique place even for local Tunisians , it s full of culture . Zammour is an amazing place surrounded by many amazing old Berbere castles where you can go for a hike to visit or camp .. the village is part of medenin district and it s the gate of the Tunisian Sahara . It s also close to many other "amazigh" villages where you can also find berber castles like "douiret" "chenini" "ksar hallouf" and others . From there you can also visit "ksar ghilane" a famous remote small village in the Sahara where you can find a natural hotspring in the middle of the oasis .. from there you can also reach the Tunisian dream island called "Djerba" where you can enjoy swimming , street arts , Jewish minority monuments , street arts called Djerba hood , cycling around the island and soo many other activities .. still many other attractions close by that I didn t mention but zied and his family can help with that for sure .. I started to help in this big project and will keep doing that to make it bigger and international so more people can visit the place get immersed in the culture , make friends , enjoy an authentic local experience and have fun .. the festival had a big social impact especially on some poor families living there that they could sell some products and accommodating local visitors from other cities . The most important objective isn't just to make this event successful but to develop the area and attract visitors all the year . Really happy to meet zied and joined the festival " 's team as a volunteer and thankful about my first volunteering in my country Tunisia after volunteering during three years backpacking trip in Asia ..
