Who We Are

GrassRoutes Adventures Inc. was started by a group of like minded individuals with ambitions to positively change the world and to have the time of their lives while doing it. Combining our passion for travel with a commitment to creating unique itineraries that take others beyond the confines of typical adventure tourism, we seek to create a community of globally conscious travelers and to establish relationships with grassroot organisations currently making a significant difference in local communities around the world.

We are excited not only by the experience of adventurous travel, but also embrace the opportunity of embarking on journeys of global sharing. While our primary focus is on educational development, we are always looking for like-minded individuals with a spirited interest in world issues, and a genuine ambition to participate in the development of the global community. By combining humanitarian development projects with edge of your seat adventure, Grass Routes Adventures is able to provide unique culturally infused experiences beyond the scope of everyday travel.
