We believe travel changes lives.
For locals Host travelers to get their support.
For travelers Travel in a way that benefits the communities you visit.
Benefits and respects the local community Minimizes environmental impact Financial benefits for local community Minimizes environmental impact
Travel2change is about more than traveling
It’s traveling to create change – meaningful change for travelers, locals and our world.
Innovate business models, not marketing campaigns.
The TOMS buy-one-give-one model does not actually solve a social problem.

The travel2change process
We begin with a themed challenge for how we can travel to create a positive impact on the lives of local communities.
Travelers collaborate with locals to make the best ideas happen. Successful projects are available for continued travel to make a meaningful and lasting impact.
Travelers and locals create ideas to meet the challenge and vote for their favorites.

We can no longer afford to over-analyze
our challenges.
We must try to get things launched —
learn from these experiences and refine.
