Sustainability

Look, the reason we travel is to see the most beautiful places in the world, to experience new cultures and cuisines, to challenge our comforts, and to continue the journey of exploration that we humans are designed for.

We must be part of caring for those places if we want to keep doing amazing adventures all over this planet. We, the trekkers of earth, and lovers of nature and culture must do our part. Hell, we need to do more than our part to make up for the jackasses. It’s in the interest of all adventurers.

Thus we incorporate sustainability in travels in the following ways:

Every trip quote comes with sustainability costs included.

  • An automatic contribution of 1% of your trip cost will be directly donated to:
    1. The Nature Conservancy
      https://www.nature.org
    2. The Trust for Public Land
      https://www.tpl.org
    3. Conservation International

    4. The UN United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization https://www.unesco.org

There will be the option to increase contributions and choose the beneficiary.

Carbon offsets for flights and travel are automatically processed and included in your quote. Carbon offsets do not relieve you of any responsibility and they will not solve the immediate problem. You should never feel as if paying carbon offsets absolve you of your carbon output. But they do not hurt in the grand scheme of things. Your carbon offsets will be sent to:

“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.”
