We’re here because we are travelers. We’re here to ensure that every trip gives at least a little back to a world that has given us so much. Our lives have been deeply enriched by visits to places near and far. While those visits have given us so much, they sometimes leave nothing behind. Foreign ownership of airlines, hotels, and other travel amenities often prevent dollars spent from flowing into communities.

Outdoors adventurers have long held up the ideal of “leave no trace” because nature is not improved upon by human remnants. But we think travel should aspire to a different standard. We want to leave the communities we visit at least a little better. We’re here to Leave a Trace.
