“Transformational travel is intentionally traveling to stretch, learn and grow into new ways of being and engaging with the world. When we leave home and set out on our own, there are often 3 critical parts of a truly life-altering adventure:
Traveling with intention, openness, and mindfulness
Engaging in challenging/eye-opening physical and/or cultural experiences
Taking time for personal reflection & meaning-making
The goal is to help bring these 3 elements together to radically increase the likelihood of you having a life-changing travel experience.” The following positive-impact Experiences allow guests to donate either time or money to benefit organizations that promote social and environmental development in/around Mexico City.

Some examples of the relief provided are midwives who prevent maternal mortality and obstetric violence, maquila workers fighting sexual harassment and unequal wages, indigenous women living in rural places who defend their right to own land, domestic employees who seek to have their work recognized, and indigenous women's sustainable enterprises.
