“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”

root ( \ˈrüt), verb: to become fixed or established
adventure (ad·ven·ture), noun: a bold, usually risky undertaking

At first glance, “Root Adventures” may seem a paradox - exploration and grounding are in direct opposition. But here at Root Adventures, we believe the best way to connect to yourself, community, and the world around you is to go to a place of vulnerability. Travel allows us to strip away our preconceived notions and see the people and communities around the world through a new, less-filtered lense. Travel should be a transformative, soul-connecting, honest exploration of your deeper self. We focus on creating adventures that allow you to stray from the beaten path and connect to the local culture, nature, and community in an authentic, honest way. We create itineraries custom to your dreams while ensuring sustained support to the local communities and nature.

Root Pillars:

From beginning to end, every detail that goes into a Root Adventures trip is intentional. Our goal is to create a space where people can show up as they are and truly slow down and reflect. We want to guide people outside their comfort zone so they learn the skills necessary to feel every moment with deep intentionality, living life through a less-filtered lens.

Community is created through shared experiences and the formation of relationships. Relationships can act as a mirror and have the potential to spark joy or be triggering, but either way they foster growth. Through delving into the relationship with one’s self, others and the places we visit, Root Adventures experiences foster a rich sense of community and belonging.

Travel comes with a high barrier to entry and we strive to create safe spaces around the world for people of all body types, backgrounds and physical abilities. Our trips are expensive but we believe in fair pay for employees and only working with partners in our destinations who share our values and operate responsibly. Giving back is a big focus of each trip and we are committed to providing experiences for members of BIPOC communities through our scholarship programs.

Travel is an inherently carbon intensive activity and while sustainable business practices are always top of mind, our goal is to get to the root of the problem and not just put a band-aid on it. True change will be affected for generations to come by showing people how fragile and beautiful our natural ecosystems are. We can learn from other communities how to live in harmony with the natural balance of the land.
