Personally, I have not met anyone while volunteering on a project together, but I guess you could say I met my fiance while working in Cambodia.

We now have a small tour operation and try to put together small scale development projects out in the countryside as a way to give back. We both like the idea of helping others who have less opportunities.

If you are lonely, go out and find somewhere to volunteer today!
