LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — “The best way to let go of the past is to look towards the future,” says Augusto Valverde, the creator and host of Global Child “Travel with Purpose” now in its third season of exploring the world through the best experiences and giving back everywhere they go. “But where to journey with so many options, right? With the world starting to open up, it’s really a matter of priorities. In our second season we visited ten incredible destinations where we ‘travelled with purpose’ and gave back as we discovered positive life lessons,” Says Augusto, with a hopeful smile.
As 2020 winds down, the vaccine begins to be distributed and the world begins to adapt and re-open, several destinations are already flirting with international passengers to begin to romance their hearts and imaginations. However, with so many changes to the world, many travelers have found new found priorities that also include giving back, learning from the destination and sharing the positive experience with the world.
It’s no longer about just being a consumer, but it’s about actually bringing added value to the world we all inhabit and the places we go. That’s exactly why Augusto created the Global Child series, first launching on ten major airlines that carry over 500 million yearly passengers and now reaching millions on Amazon Prime Video as well. More importantly, he brings different influencers and celebrities on the journey to give back together.
“We wanted to inspire travelers to remember that everyone is part of one global family and we have so much more in common than what sets us apart. It’s time to leave the divisive behind and embrace the future together. Doing good in each place we visit, not only is a great blessing for each place we visit, but it actually does wonders for our own soul. Humans are wired to give; that’s where joy comes from. Joy is proportional to gratitude. If we feel unhappy, we have to check our gratitude levels and what we are giving to the world around us. I know it’s tough, but we can always give at least a smile. That’s why we chose these amazing ten destinations to showcase in our Second Season of: Global Child “Travel with Purpose” now streaming on Amazon Prime Video,” Says Augusto.
Here are Global Child’s top ten destinations to visit in 2021, in no particular order but with a definite charitable act and the life lesson we discovered in each one, as well as an idea on how to give back in each place. You can see the full one hour episodes on Amazon Prime Video right now for a deeper dive and a welcomed reprieve!
