SUSTAINABILITY

We believe in slow and sustainable travel, protecting planet Earth, and giving back to the communities we visit.

Positive impact

As a purpose driven brand, we seek to leave a positive impact economically, socially, and environmentally. We believe in protecting planet Earth and leaving a positive impression in the local communities we visit.

 

We encourage engaging with the locals respectfully and with an open sense of curiosity.

Local partnerships

We use local partners to keep money in the communities we visit, rather than in the pockets of corporations. We feel strongly towards supporting the local economies and working with vendors that align with our values. 

 

This helps maintain a happy, healthy, ecosystem and provides a more authentic experience.

mindful travel

We choose to travel mindfully, which means respectfully and openly engaging with different cultures, leaving nothing behind in places we visit, and taking time to appreciate the details and in-between moments that make life interesting.

Trips have been designed with these principles in mind and we invite you to practice them both with us and in your own.
