TRAVEL WITH INTENTION
Your Friends in Travel
We specialize in two things:
1. travel, convening logistics & event management for social activists & kick ass groups
2. arranging travel for people who truly want to learn and connect with locals and who often feel like they , themselves, do not fit into any predetermined checkboxes
OUR PHILOSOPHY
A LOTUS BLOSSOMS EVEN IN MUD
Your Adventure Awaits
Our company has gone through many stages and we keep evolving. We are just a couple of people with island roots that want to help offset the generations of inequity that we and our ancestors have witnessed and experienced. We started by shouting "decolonize travel" but we moved into approaching it with love and simply catalyzing and supporting a shared economy where more money goes to locals and families
NOT YOUR NORMAL TRAVEL PLANNER
Unforgettable Memories
Aina ! That's me. I have always been an oddball. My memories of travel are filled with the dogs and children I meet on my journeys. That is why after 20 years on the other side of the industry I jumped over to this side to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to make truly meaningful travel connections.Over 20 years in the hospitality and travel industry - use that to your advantage.
THIS IS US
