The Langtang Moment: How One Nepal Trek Became a Blueprint for Impact Travel
Manage episode 507962007 series 2913433
What started as a solo trek through Nepal’s earthquake-devastated Langtang Valley became a global movement connecting adventure with authentic impact. Today we’re joined by Candice Young, founder of Trek Relief, an organization that transforms travelers into changemakers through community-led projects across the world’s most remote regions.
From installing solar panels in Peru to rebuilding schools in Nepal, Trek Relief has completed 28 trips across multiple countries, creating a unique model where participants don’t just witness need—they actively address it alongside local communities. What makes their approach different? Every project emerges from what communities actually request, not what outsiders assume they need.
Join us as Candice shares how one moment of witness became a decade of purposeful travel that’s changing lives on both sides of the journey.
