Your experience should be yours: unique and authentic. Get ready to explore new places and immerse yourself in new cultures.

We strive to curate expeditions that break the common “touristy” mold. We’ll help you connect with your destination, not spend your hard-earned dollars on kitschy souvenirs and the same photo op millions have taken before you.

Fair Travel is travel the way it should be: a real adventure.

We evaluate each expedition against our sustainability and ethics framework.

We believe sustainable travel takes full account of current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment, and host communities.

Let’s learn together. We rely on scientific research to curate world class expeditions. Whether it’s evaluating the ethics of animal encounters, the best way to neutralize our carbon footprint, successful recipes for community action, or that information we once held as truth is no longer valid, scientific exploration is at our core.

It helps us inform our community of ethical roamers and helps us better our own practices day-in and day-out.

We believe that rather than exploit communities, businesses should be an integral part of their communities.

That’s why we’ve voluntarily organized as a Benefit Corporation (B Corp) in the State of California, USA. As such, we’ve taken on a legal obligation to support the environment and the communities we explore.

Close your eyes. Imagine a moment where your mind clears, you feel grounded, centered…you. You are one with everything around you. Your body is simultaneously calm and elated. Anything is possible.

We don’t have a perfect word for this experience in English, but other languages do. Traditional Chinese medicine uses the word Qi (or chi). Pixar Animation Studios has alluded to it as ‘soul.‘ A more modern term that’s gaining traction is “flow state.”

No matter what you call it, we hope to curate opportunities for you to experience this phenomenon for yourself.

We’re told buying products shapes ones identity and delivers happiness. But study after study shows that happiness actually comes when we have gratitude for what we already have, mindfully care and maintain what we’re grateful for, and enjoy both the anticipation, activity, and memory of an experience: like a trip.

We’ve moved beyond capitalism to hyper-consumerism: purchasing goods well and above what we need. It causes pollution, resource depletion, low quality, and poor labor standards.

Conscious consumerism gives us the opportunity to engage in the economy with more awareness of how our consumption impacts society and the planet at large.

We aim to supply you with what you really need, made in a way that’s both ethical and sustainable. And if you don’t need it? Don’t buy it! It’s that simple!

Rather than focusing solely on profit, we believe businesses should equally value their people (those they employ, those they serve, those they encounter) and the planet.

• People: People matter. We aspire to build lasting relationships with the communities we visit, benefiting them as much as possible. We equally value and care for our customers (aka ethical roamers). Like our founder’s grandfather always said of his own company, “Making friends is our business.”

• Planet: We minimize our environmental impacts and invest in solutions to large scale environmental challenges.

• Profit: We don’t agree that not-for-profits are the only vehicle for good. Every business should be a vehicle for the betterment of our communities.

We’re not the only ones building on this revolutionary idea. Seek out the B Corp logo for other businesses who feel the same!
