Globerati.com: Philanthropic Travelers

"How to make a difference abroad when you're in the dough and not the peace corps." -Globerati.com on Philanthropic Travel
"Some of us vacation for the sun. Or the culture. Or the hot stone massage. Or the white-knuckle ride. Or the Michelin-starred menus. But now, a new breed of altruistic adventurer is pushing the frontiers of philanthropic travel -and having it all. Just don't confuse it with voluntourism -that's for people with more time than money. For those who have it the other way around, the options to embrace high-end travel and keep their humanity intact are growing fast.
Exquisite Safaris, for example, bills itself as 'the pioneer of private, luxury philanthropic travel,' and tailors its five-star trips to destinations where clients get to interact with local communities.
As Fast Company puts it: 'In between watching cheetahs on the plains of the Serengeti and getting pampered with spa treatments, you may spend a morning teaching kids how to read." -Marc Jolly Founder & Editor Globerati.com
