Travel That Gives Back: How Adventure Can Change the World

Join Tara Hetz, founder of Mazingira Adventures, for an evening conversation at Sports Basement Presidio/Marina about how travel can be a catalyst for conservation, connection, and community resilience.

From cycling alongside giraffes in Kenya to mountain biking through Bulgaria’s remote mountain villages, Tara has seen firsthand how thoughtful adventure travel can uplift local communities and protect the wild places we love.

In this talk, she’ll explore how rethinking the way we travel—where our money goes, who benefits, and how we engage—can transform tourism into a model for shared prosperity and environmental stewardship.

You’ll leave with:
• A deeper understanding of what responsible, community-based travel looks like.
• Real stories from people and projects making a difference across Africa and Europe.
• Inspiration to make your own adventures more meaningful.
