The Experience

We believe travel is more than just checking off sights. It’s about stepping into everyday life, connecting with real people, and sharing moments that stay with you. But it’s also about what you bring — your ideas, your energy, your skills. Here, you’re not just a guest; you’re part of something we’re building together. A community where giving and receiving happen naturally, and where every traveler becomes a contributor.

Baozi has been an absolutely incredible host! This was my first volunteering experience, and he made me feel at home from day one. I had the chance to improve my Chinese while also practicing my English. I’m truly grateful for the two months at “It Takes 2 Studio” and all the amazing memories I’m taking with me. Baozi, his family, and everyone I met at the host will always be welcome in Mexico! 🙏 I hope to visit them again soon. Good people deserve good meetings. 🫶🏻

I had a great experience volunteering at It Takes Two. Baozi gave me a lot of freedom to contribute, organize events, bring people together and try my own ideas. It's a great place if you're proactive and enjoy creating things rather than following a strict routine. I met many local people, made friends, practiced Mandarin and experienced a side of Shenzhen I probably wouldn't have seen as a tourist. Baozi is easygoing, generous and open-minded, and I genuinely felt part of the place. Thanks for everything, Baozi!

Truly one of the best travel experiences of my life! 🥹❤️
I’m incredibly grateful to Baozi for taking such wonderful care of me and making me feel so welcomed in a completely new and unfamiliar environment. I feel especially lucky because I got to experience and learn so much about Chinese culture and everyday life in a way I never could have as a regular tourist.
I’m so happy I chose to volunteer here. Beyond everything I learned, I got to share so many lovely moments and make beautiful memories with Baozi and Chinese friends that I will cherish forever!!

This experience was nothing short of amazing! I loved the tight knit community that we have made together with me, Baozi, Pedro (another volunteer on the job), and Nazmul. I was immersed in Chinese language learning in ways such as talking with locals, having simple conversations about names, culture differences and even similarities, and even coffee!😂 Apart from that, this experience opened my eyes into different perspectives in ways I cannot explain and even just for the 6 hour work days, you build so much connection. I would 100% recommend this project to anyone who comes across it 🫶

Baozi and his family are really nice people. They are caring and open minded. I had to leave early due to personal reasons but I wished I had more time with them. I totally recommend going to Shenzhen and meeting with them.
