INDEPENDENT MEDIA PLATFORM
Sharing stories of communities, innovators, and local leaders responding to complex social and environmental challenges with creativity, agency, and hope.
Moving beyond deficit narratives to examine what is working, why, and how.
People need to eat, so integrate food-related social enterprises, hands-on social impact projects, and waste-free efforts into experiences.
Integrating social enterprises into travel experiences surfaces learning opportunities while using tourism to support community well being.
Supporting and visiting non-profit organizations while traveling financially supports them while offering unique learning opportunities.
