Private low-cost observation project

Are there still kind people in the world?

We believe there are. So we travel low-cost, observe without pressure — and document what we personally notice on the road.

Kindness vs. noise

Why this project exists

Media and social networks often spread fear, anger and negative stories. Whole countries, cultures and communities are sometimes judged by the worst examples.

We decided to test the opposite: how much ordinary kindness still exists in real life. This is a private, unsponsored project. We travel with a small low-cost budget, pay for our stays ourselves and quietly document what we personally notice during the journey.

Sometimes we mention the project. Sometimes kindness appears before we even say anything. When enough observations are collected, we would like to publish basic statistics by country, type of help and situation.

Personal project

Who started this?

KindProof founders

KindProof started as a small father-and-son idea during low-cost travel. We are not running a big organization or a sponsored campaign — just a simple personal project, one trip at a time.

What kind of help matters

Support does not have to be money. A local tip, a small service, a dinner, drinks, ice cream, a wellness gesture, a room upgrade, an extra discount, a ride, a useful contact or simply practical help on the road can matter.
