‘This is a very exciting partnership for us,’ says UPEACE Centre Director Julia Delafield. ‘We’ve worked with the founders of GOOD Travel for years, and know their values and vision as a company align with all that we’re trying to teach to our participants. In the midst of the global pandemic, it is clearer than ever before that we live in a delicate, interconnected world that needs compassionate, holistic leaders that can see the big picture.

Eliza Raymond, Co-Founder of GOOD Travel, agrees. ‘The timing of this partnership is perfect. So many GOOD travellers would love to be out experiencing the world and having a positive impact on the places they visit, but instead they are stuck at home. We see an opportunity for them to put that time to use, growing as individuals committed to global citizenship and regenerative leadership. We are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to the GOOD Travel community. And, of course, we welcome UPEACE Centre alumni to our future sustainable travel programs as well!’
