Why Better Adventures?
- Travel connects people & should be a force for good
- Many travel companies say they want to have a bigger positive impact on the local communities and the environment, but few fully embrace this
- There are many organizations out there doing great work, but they need people’s time, expertise, and resources to ensure long-term success
- We’re all one family and we have more in common than we might think
- Experiencing other cultures encourages you to consider other points of view and teaches you about yourself & your own culture
