#5: Elevating travel with Dominique Callimanopulos

When Dominique Callimanopulos founded her sustainability-minded travel company in 2005, a lot of people in the industry didn’t understand what she was doing. Now, she says, other companies are catching up — but they all still have a long way to go.

In this episode, Dominique joins the podcast to talk about family travel, de-colonizing the travel industry, and how travelers can effectively give back to the communities they visit.

Plus, Paige learns a new Danish phrase that she thinks should be adopted worldwide…

Have you been trying to travel in a more thoughtful or sustainable way — either on your own or with your family? If so, how did that go? What challenges did you encounter? What questions do you have? I’d love to hear about your experience and hope you’ll share by sending me a voice message

Thank you so much for listening!
