Meaningful Trips
Travel can be a force for degradation and a force for positive change. A recent story I wrote for National Geographic Adventure explores the nature of the impact we have as travelers—and how we can make a positive contribution to the places we visit. Included are ten trips that give back in some way, from volunteer work to bringing income to remote communities. I might add that they all sound pretty darn fun: Come nose-to-nose with a sea turtle, sail to little-known hot springs on the British Columbia coast, and circumnavigate Kilimanjaro on foot. Check out the full story, “10 Adventure Trips that Give Back,” here.
