Why travel responsibly?  Why give back?

It may not be easy to express the important elements of responsible travel, yet they are an important part of today’s travel-friendly world.  Crooked Trails co-founders Tammy Leland and Christine Torrison Mackay can share with your meeting, school or organization the wealth of experience they have in responsible travel and tourism.  They are in a unique position to bring valuable insight to your project, fundraising event, curriculum development, community roundtable or classroom.

Crooked Trails offers exchange and reward far beyond the usual ‘go, see, and buy-the-souvenir’ style of travel.  Constant involvement with groups from Seattle to South America, Africa, Asia and India keeps Chris and Tammy attuned to the adaptability and sustainability of projects and communities.  Through their inspirational and sometimes outrageous stories and presentations, they show how a respectful, responsible and engaged travel ethic is powerful and very enjoyable.

Let Crooked Trails inspire you with tales of community development success stories and learn how to incorporate responsible travel into your next journey.

“I was so impressed by your presentation…  I think you achieved something big by introducing a way of looking at travel that most of them had never considered… I really appreciated your engaging style, your organization, and the wonderful video.  You have given all of us a lot to think about, and inspired us as well.”
