Abstract:	This research project explores how commodified experiences could contribute to human flourishing. By means of (n)ethnographic methods, we study volunteering tourism as a commodified version of altruistic acts in which people pay significant amounts of money to engage for a limited time period in pro-social projects at exotic destinations. We suggest that the great interest in volunteering tourism is rooted in its potential to fulfill important aspects of Eudaimonic well-being and reveal dimensions interacting with well-being outcomes.
