Catalyzing travel for personal and social transformation

A TIME TO TRANSFORM

Who

We are a collection of restless souls that are guiding and convening a global movement that maximizes the power of travel to positively transform how we live our lives, how we live with others, and how we live on our planet.

Why

We are increasingly disassociated from the things that matter most – each other, experiences, and our communities and impact.

Travel today has often resulted in personal experiences missing their full potential while also increasing inequities, over-touristed communities, and climate impacts. Now, as we emerge from a global pandemic with a new desire and appreciation for travel, we need the deep, personal stretching and growth in travel that makes new lifestyle choices natural.

What

We define transformational travel as “intentionally traveling to stretch, learn and grow into new ways of being and engaging with the world.” We believe in traveling from the inside out and bringing new appreciation for travel’s innate ability to break down walls within us and between us.

How

How can travel across borders, or just to a new part of your own region, further help heal our homes and our planet? Along with our Ally members, we are leaning into these questions through the gateways of human connection, meaning, purpose, and belonging.

Our on-demand courses and live workshops, Ally membership, transformation design, destination programs, training, and consulting, will guide you in designing and engaging travel and tourism in a more mindful, impactful, and altruistic way.

As we search for more meaning in our lives, many of us count on travel to create space to gain clarity, purpose and wisdom, so, it makes sense to take a more altruistic and outcome-driven approach to our explorations.

“Change is an Inside Job”


If our journey transforms ourselves only we will have missed the true power of travel. The transformation must extend to the people, places, and cultures we travel to. Without this, the journey becomes selfish pursuit.

A good travel journal invites us to draw out our best self both at home and abroad, and The Transformational Travel Journal does just that. Alive with beautiful prompts and spaces to reflect, this is a journal that extends our journeys well beyond the actual trip.
