Travel with purpose, no guilt | Byron Thomas from Niarra Travel

Welcome to Roaming Roots, everyone!

Today I have the pleasure of having Byron Thomas, founder of Niarra Travel, as my very first guest.

Niarra Travel is a company that operates on the principles of transparency and purpose, creating unforgettable trips to inspiring places while directing more tourism revenue to the people and communities protecting our increasingly fragile natural world.

In this episode, we will be exploring the future of travel and tourism with Byron, we will learn about his background and how he got into the industry, as well as the work that Niarra Travel does. We will also be discussing the importance of conservation and connecting people, the dilemmas related to travel, and what we can do to make travel more responsible.

I have to say that this conversation changed some of my views about travel and that was exactly what I hoped for with this podcast! And coming from Scandinavia, where the term flight shame originated, Byron gave me some food for thought.
