Travel has the power to change us. But what if it could also help change the world for the better?
On this episode of Speaking of Travel, join Jared Sternberg, founder and CEO of Gondwana Ecotours, for a thoughtful conversation about what it really means to travel with purpose. Jared shares how an unexpected journey took him from law school and backpacking adventures to building an international ecotourism company, challenging the idea that travel is simply about seeing new places.
Together we explore how every trip we take leaves an impact and why the communities we visit should benefit from our presence. Jared invites us to think differently about travel, not just as something we experience, but as something that can strengthen communities and inspire positive change.
This episode is an invitation to look beyond the itinerary and consider a bigger question: What kind of traveler do we want to be?
"Travel isn't just about where you go. It's about recognizing that your presence has an impact and choosing to leave people and places better because you were there."
Join us for a conversation that may forever change the way you see the world and your place in it.
Only on Speaking of Travel.
