Did you know Dr. Jane Goodall has her very own collection of wildlife-focused G Adventures tours? It’s called (you guessed it) the Jane Goodall Collection! For the past four decades, the Jane Goodall Institute has worked to foster a deeper understanding of chimpanzees and to provide support for the communities and other animals who share their natural habitats. It’s been our honour to partner with the Institute over the years to create 20 incredible tours that support their m...ission to protect wildlife and empower local communities.

A great way to practice your Spanish until you can travel again. Selvyn is a walking history book on all things Guatemala. He was my own personal guide in 2018 and again in 2020, when I escorted a group of women on retreat in beautiful Guatemala. Luis Miguel, who I also know, is a sweet and proud Cuban who can share everything he knows about his colourful and vibrant country. It is important during this financially devastating time in the tourism industry to think of ways we... can support tour guides from afar. Heart of Travel’s values, when it come to sustainable community tourism, is why I highly recommend them when travelling to Latin America. #sustainabletravel #spanishteachers #socialimpacttravel

96 Olive Ridley (Paslama in Spanish) Sea Turtle eggs safe and secure in the Jiquilillo Turtle Hatchery at Jiquilillo Beach Lodge in Nicaragua. This community holds a special place in my heart and 2BlocksOver Travel is proud to sponsor a turtle nest. The hatchery uses the sponsor money to buy eggs from members of the community, mainly poachers, when a nest is found, in turn helping to increase the number of hatchlings. My sponsored nest is scheduled to hatch around November ...25th When travel resumes, I encourage you to spend some of your travel dollars on a social impact project in the community you are visiting.

Another favourite tour operator of mine is Intrepid. How to go in 2021 It’s no secret that the world looks different to this time last year.... By now we’d normally be seeking out next year’s rising star destinations or planning which classics we want to tick off our travel wish lists. But, as we wonder where we'll be able to go in 2021, take a moment to consider how we travel in the future. Because after a year at home, we’ve been reminded that travel is a privilege. We’re ready to take the best bits of what we’ve always loved about travel connecting with like-minded strangers, learning about local cultures and challenging ourselves to discover something new and explore new ways to combine them with travel styles that are better for the world. Whenever the magic of travel is open to us again, it’s more important than ever that we go the right way, which is why we've come up with five foundations for the future of travel ~ Intrepid

It’s okay to be gentle with ourselves for past interactions with animals. What is important is that we continue to educate ourselves so we make better choices next time
