What will you do today, for tomorrow? This is the question being asked in a global initiative seeking ideas to generate positive change in the world. The G Project, powered by G Adventures and its non-profit foundation Planeterra, encourages people to submit ideas that will help solve social and environmental issues at a local level.
Next week, G Adventures will be bringing together everyday visionaries from all over the world to help make our world a little more perfect. All you need is an idea. Ideas move the world forward. Where will yours take us?
On the morning of October 30, 2012, millions of Americans awoke to unimaginable destruction and despair. Almost immediately, families, friends and complete strangers banded together to rebuild neighbourhoods shattered by Hurricane Sandy.
Check out the most recent G Adventures lip-dub video. Shot throughout the year all around the world and boasting a cast of hundreds, this labour of love from the G Adventures in-house creative team provides great insight to what working and travelling with G is all about. Canada.com’s Mark Stachiew had good things to say, writing “it certainly makes you want to bust out of your cubicle on a Monday morning!”

At Cusco’s Sand Pedro market, you can enjoy a first-hand look at how locals live day-to-day outside the confines of Cusco’s tourist areas. Get off the beaten path a little bit and head to the market for a truly Peruvian experience. And bring lots of film—or make sure that you have abundant space on your memory card. It’s very photogenic.
Unless you’re willing to over-pack, or spend valuable time in laundromats, you’ll want to wash some items in your hotel room sink. But, how to dry?
How many of you are a member of a loyalty program? I’m willing to bet that it’s a good number. There are a number of programs, and the list is constantly growing. Pavlov was right—we love rewards. So much so that it is estimated that 94% of us are enrolled in some type of loyalty program. In fact, it’s likely that you’ll have more than three rewards cards in your wallet at any given time.
For the round-the-world traveller who is planning an adventure, Leffel’s book will prove to be a good tool and a good jumping-off point.
Yung Chang handles the subject with insight and poise. This documentary is a must-see for anybody contemplating a trip to the mainland.
Kathyrn and I had—for a while now—been considering a new camera—one that we can bring along with us on our round-the-world trip. We’d been looking for something that was portable without having to sacrifice the bells and whistles of a traditional DSLR.
May you laugh, may you laugh, like hail falling on a tin roof, may you laugh.
Where’s my passport? I need it to reclaim my fingerprints that they’ve sequestered at the immigration office so I wouldn’t smudge the windows that they’ve polished to keep me out.
Without a tether, without an anchor to your bed back home. You move. You have no need for memories. You have the deepest need for maps.
Lonesome George was not just a tortoise but also a conservation icon—he was an ambassador to remind us to think about what we are doing to the world. And with his passing we are all, indeed, left a little bit lonelier.
Kathryn and I are suckers for infographics—but this one definitely just topped the list as one of our favourites. Our friend (and co-worker) Sean Russo from G Adventures recently did the Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu. Just before he left, the team asked him to count his steps. Check it out!
The irony is more than a little pronounced. In its most recent campaign, G Adventures—a small group adventure travel company with whom I work—implies that one can shed the ‘tourist’ mantle by choosing to travel with it. So what the hell are they up to?
Happy New Year! We hope that as you read this you’re full of all kinds of inspiration and motivation for the year ahead. To close out 2011 (and look ahead to 2012), we’re reviewing some of our blogging accomplishments, our highlights and, moreover, taking a moment to thank our readers!
It’s starting to look a lot like—well, you know — a time for many fun holiday-season traditions. And one of the most traditional of all is our annual Holiday Gift Guide, now in its second year.
G Adventures declares an end to ‘Tourist Season’ today and has launched a global campaign dubbed ‘You’ll Never Forget It’. Coinciding with the introduction of its 2012 brochure lineup, the campaign features a website—and an international search for the new faces of the tour operator’s 2013 brochures.
In celebration of its name change—and the company’s new freedom from legal naming hassles—G Adventures has posted a lip dub video to George Michael’s Freedom and a contest to match! The prize? A trip anywhere they go!
