I love adventure travel. I also love travel that involves making a difference in the place that you are visiting. The video below tells just such a story. It involves Keen footwear ambassador Nick Greece and the Cloudbase Foundation, traveling to Malawi in Africa to support Godfrey, a local paraglider pilot who is attempting to launch his own adventure tourism business using paragliders to introduce visitors to his country. This endeavor would create local jobs, support local schools, and help others to learn about Malawi, This excellent video gives us a glimpse of those efforts, as well as the amazing people and landscapes of this fantastic African country.
Paragliding in Africa? Where do I sign up?
