Dr. Nick Ellis and Matt Kinch sit down with Christine to talk about their organizations, the MEDLIFE Movement and Good Life Expeditions. After following the call to travel to Peru, Nick ended up becoming a MD and creating MEDLIFE to support rural communities in a different way. As they began bringing more travelers to volunteer, the role of tour operator naturally evolved and Matt and Nick now support community-based tourism and sustainable travel while helping travelers get off the beaten path. This conversation dances through topics of sustainable travel, community impact, and ways to empower the communities we visit. In the last year, they launched a campaign to provide one million meals to families experiences food insecurity due to COVID-19.
