Program Details
We are a youth-led sustainable tourism project based in Phu Thuan coastal village, Hue, Vietnam.
“Dreams of the Sea” is more than a hostel — it is a community-based initiative that connects travelers, international volunteers, and local children to create meaningful cultural exchange and social impact.
Our mission is to:
Support local families through small-scale sustainable tourism
Create educational and language exchange opportunities for children
Promote responsible travel and ocean awareness
As a volunteer, you will not just help in a hostel — you will become part of a coastal community.

Depending on your skills and interests, you may support us with:
- Helping with guest experience and community activities
- Assisting in English exchange sessions for local children
- Supporting storytelling, social media & content creation
- Organizing small workshops (culture, art, sustainability, etc.)

We value creativity and initiative — if you have ideas, we’d love to co-create with you.
