we are agents of change

This planet is incredible. You know it, we know it, and together with our partner for small group adventure tours, G Adventures, every traveler can know it too. When passengers travel with G Adventures, we help them do more than just connect with fascinating places and amazing people. We welcome them into a global community of curious travelers dedicated to social and economic change.

Responsible travel isn’t just something G Adventures does. It’s in everything they do, and Huckleberry Travel shares those values — of course for our travelers, but equally for the people and local communities we visit. G Adventures calls it G for Good and it includes all of the social, moral, and ethical Good we undertake as a business. Like the Looptail, it’s cyclical. The more you give the more you get back and the Good carries on.

That’s why we’re so proud that we’re being recognized as Agents of Change for our commitment to responsible and sustainable travel. Ready for the exciting news?

Out of thousands and thousands of travel advisors across the country, our very own Erin Richards received Honorable Mention in the First Annual Agents of Change Awards sponsored by G Adventures. This is a really big deal to us. Not to toot our own horn, but we win awards all the time (ahem). But for Erin to win this award for her commitment to the values that we hold so strongly in our company — well, that’s something truly extraordinary. Go Erin!

And the recognition doesn’t stop there! Co-founder of Huckleberry Travel (and advisor) Tom Carpenter was selected by G Adventures to be one of only 15 advisors nationwide, to attend the G Adventures Changemakers Summit, this year. Tom will travel to Peru to visit the many projects that G Adventures and the Planeterra Foundation fund to support sustainable and responsible tourism in the region. We’ll do a deep dive into how we can use the power of travel to change the world for the better.

This won’t be the first time Tom’s visited G Adventures’ projects in the Sacred Valley of Peru. In fact — it’ll be his third!

The social value of what we do is just as important to us as the profits we earn. Our partnership with G Adventures makes all of that possible, and we’re thrilled to be recognized as one of their top US partner agencies.
