Travel That Gives Back: How Adventure Can Strengthen Communities

What if travel could do more than take you somewhere new—what if it could change something for the better?

Join Tara Hetz, founder of Mazingira Adventures, for an evening at Manny’s exploring how adventure travel can be a catalyst for conservation, connection, and community resilience.

From cycling alongside giraffes in Kenya to hiking through Bulgaria’s remote mountain villages, Tara has witnessed how travel, when done with purpose, can empower local communities and help protect the wild places we love.

This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s an open conversation about rethinking how we move through the world:
How can our choices as travelers create positive impact?
How do we make adventure a force for good?

At this talk, you’ll:
• Hear real stories from communities transformed by mindful tourism.
• Learn what responsible, community-based travel looks like in practice.
• Leave inspired to travel with more purpose and connection.

📅 Friday, November 14 | 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 Manny’s, 3092 16th Street, Mission District, San Francisco

Free and open to the public — RSVP recommended to hold your seat.
