Ayzoh! is nomadic by nature. We share decades of experience and a deep commitment with our members. With Ayzoh!, travel is more than just movement—it’s a mindset. A way of thinking, questioning, learning, and connecting. We don’t just visit places; we immerse ourselves in communities, work side by side with local partners, and contribute to meaningful projects that go beyond tourism.

New: we’ve taken a bold step forward

To deepen our connection with the communities we support, we’ve created our own agency: Ayzoh! Ethiopia Tours. Born from the ground up, shaped by our values, and rooted in the lands we know best. This bold move walks beside everything we do around the world—never instead of. It’s another way to share the spirit of Ayzoh!, off the beaten path.

A Shared Experience

Ayzoh! travels are also about learning: as you explore remote landscapes and engage with cultures rarely seen, you’ll have the unique opportunity to work side by side with Ayzoh!’s international professionals: award-winning photographers, seasoned storytellers, and experienced fieldworkers.

Whether you want to refine your visual storytelling, develop a project, or simply gain a deeper understanding of the people and places you encounter, our journeys offer hands-on mentorship in the field.

A Shared Experience

Traveling with Ayzoh! means stepping beyond the role of observer. It’s about actively engaging with people and places, exchanging knowledge, and leaving a positive impact. Whether you join us for an immersive cultural experience, a participatory documentary project, or a field collaboration with indigenous and marginalized communities, every journey is an invitation to be part of something larger than yourself.

We believe in ethical, responsible travel that respects local cultures and traditions while ensuring that our presence benefits the communities we engage with. To make this possible, we work with trusted local partners — registered and accredited guides, community leaders, and cultural mediators — who share our commitment to responsible storytelling and social impact.

Join Our Field Projects

Ayzoh! is more than a collective of storytellers—it’s a movement. We invite photographers, filmmakers, writers, researchers, and curious travelers to join us in capturing stories that would otherwise remain untold.

In the field, we don’t just document; we collaborate. We listen, learn, and co-create narratives that challenge stereotypes and amplify voices that often go unheard.

By traveling with Ayzoh!, you’ll gain access to experiences rarely open to outsiders—whether it’s witnessing sacred rituals in Ethiopia’s Omo Valley, walking alongside indigenous leaders in Latin America, or working with community educators in remote African villages.

These are not conventional tours; they are immersive, participatory experiences that align with Ayzoh!’s mission of fostering connection, dignity, and justice through storytelling.

Why Travel with Us?

We travel not to collect postcard images of “exotic” places, but to uncover the shared human stories that transcend borders.

Ethical & Impact-Driven: All profits from our travel programs are reinvested into Ayzoh!’s social projects, supporting small, marginalized communities.

Local Expertise, Global Vision: We collaborate with community-based guides, organizations, and cultural mediators to ensure that every experience is meaningful, respectful, and sustainable.

Deep Cultural Immersion: We prioritize learning, storytelling, and human connection over superficial tourism.

Exclusive Benefits for Ayzoh! Members: Supporters enrolled in our Membership Program receive significant discounts on our travel experiences.

Where and How We Travel

Our projects take place in Africa, Latin America, and Europe, in regions where we have built strong, long-term relationships with local partners. We choose ethical accommodations that respect cultural identities and benefit local economies. Depending on the project, travel can involve cars, 4x4s, public transport, or even traditional modes of travel such as sailboats and camels.

Who Can Join?

You don’t need to be a professional photographer or journalist to join our journeys. All you need is an open mind, a willingness to listen and learn, and a passion for authentic experiences.

Essential tools: A camera (of any kind), a notebook, a pen, and a spirit of curiosity.

Be Part of the Movement

Each journey with Ayzoh! is an act of resistance against the walls—physical and psychological—that divide us. Through photography, storytelling, and human connection, we create narratives that unite rather than separate.

Are you ready to travel with purpose? To be more than a tourist and take part in a movement that blends adventure with social impact?
