How your travel can help preserve Earth’s extraordinary places

How it began
When I started Oculus Travel, I wanted to use it as a force for good in the places that had given me so much joy and enrichment.
Care for wildlife, landscapes and local communities informs my choice of partners and the journeys I design.
This page brings together conservation and community initiatives connected to the places and partners I work with. Whether you’d like to support somewhere you’ve visited, a place you’re planning to explore, or another cause that matters to you, I’d be delighted to connect you with the right people.

Projects & Initiatives
Oculus Travel does not handle donations or act as an intermediary for funds, but if you’d like to learn more about any of these initiatives, I’d be delighted to help connect you.







The places I love most are not inexhaustible. Caring for them is part of why I created Oculus Travel.
Design a Journey That Gives Back
If you would like to understand a conservation project or community initiative more deeply, I can design a journey around that interest. Working with the people involved, I help arrange appropriate visits and conversations, with time to understand the work and where support may be useful.
