Travel with Purpose. Explore with Impact.

Our Story

The idea for our company was born from a deep passion for exploration and the transformative power of travel. Over a decade ago, we set out on a journey—not just across the landscapes of Asia, but into the heart of experiential learning itself. From the towering peaks of the Himalayas to the vibrant coastal reefs, we witnessed firsthand how adventure could shape young minds, fostering leadership, resilience, and a profound sense of global citizenship.

With a background in outdoor experiential education, we dedicated our knowledge to crafting immersive experiences that challenge, inspire, and empower high school students. Every expedition became more than just a trip—it was an opportunity to bridge cultures, engage with local communities, and leave a positive impact. Through close collaboration with NGOs and local partners, we ensured that each journey was not only meaningful but also responsible and sustainable.

Guided by expertise in risk management, safety protocols, and crisis response—honed through certifications in Wilderness First Response (NOLS), Risk & Safety Management, Crisis Management (NOLS & RoSPA), and Rescue Diving (PADI & SSI)—we built a foundation where adventure and safety go hand in hand. Whether scaling mountains or exploring beneath the waves, our mission has always been to push boundaries while prioritizing the well-being of every traveler.

What began as a personal quest to redefine learning through travel has now grown into a company that transforms experiences into life-changing lessons. And this is just the beginning.

At Alternative Intrepid, we believe adventure should be more than just exploration—it should be a catalyst for change. Our unique educational trips harness the power of travel to ignite curiosity, build resilience, and inspire action. Whether designing bespoke itineraries for schools, universities, or independent groups, we weave every journey around the UN Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring that every step taken leaves a lasting impact.

From the first conversation to the final impact report, we provide a personalized, thought-provoking, and regenerative travel experience—one that transforms not just the way people see the world, but how they engage with it. Join us in redefining adventure—where every journey is a story of growth, purpose, and discovery.

At Alternative Intrepid, we believe that travel is more than just seeing the world—it’s about understanding it, connecting with it, and leaving a positive impact. Education through travel is a powerful tool for shaping young minds, fostering global citizenship, and inspiring the next generation to become changemakers.

We create immersive experiences that challenge perspectives, ignite curiosity, and build meaningful connections between students and the communities they engage with. Our adventures are designed to be fun, transformative, and deeply rooted in sustainability, ensuring that every journey leaves both travelers and host communities enriched.

Our Vision
We envision a world where people come together—across cultures, borders, and backgrounds—to create a more equitable, compassionate, and sustainable future. Through experiential learning and responsible travel, we aim to inspire individuals to care for both each other and the planet.

Our Commitment to Responsible Travel
We believe in travel as a force for good. Our commitment goes beyond minimizing our footprint—we actively contribute to meaningful change. From supporting local economies to advocating for human rights, protecting wildlife, and preserving natural environments, our programs are designed to make a lasting impact. These principles are not just ideals; they are embedded in everything we do.

Guided by our core values and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, every Alternative Intrepid experience is crafted with integrity, responsibility, and a deep respect for the world we explore. Together, we can redefine adventure—where every step forward is a step toward a better future.

Collaborating to create an itinerary that exceeds your goals!

All of our independent travel support services are customized to suit each individual explorer’s interests and needs, which we will have a chance to get a sense of during our initial conversation. Planning travel this way takes time. We recommend getting started with us 120 days or more prior to departure – this lets us work through all possibilities with you, and ensures you’ll be able to get the best deal on flights and accommodation, although we can work with tighter timelines. While every trip is unique, our design process for individual travelers follows the general flow below.
