In this episode, Stephanie Bonham-Carter, one of the masterminds behind the Galapagos Safari Camp joins Liz to go behind the scenes about how their luxury tented camp was born after a nature-immersive holiday to the Galapagos. Stephanie & Michael took their passion for authentic travel and built a dream, land experience in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador. With nature and sustainability as their north, they organically built up the camp, and business, focusing on custom-made experiences with a special focus on being family-friendly. An anomaly in the cruise-dominant Galapagos, a visit with them dials you back into nature and her rhythms, and perhaps our own essence, too.
In this episode we talk about:
• Stephanie upbringing between the UK & Ecuador and as a world traveler
• How a holiday on the Galapagos sparked a dream–and life project
• Building the safari camp on a remote island from the ground up
• How a land-based trip to the Galapagos can be more than a bucket list trip and a transformational life experience
• How children respond to nature and families bond at their bond
• What sustainable travel means to them, and the travel industry today
• The impact of Covid on Ecuador, the Galapagos, and the future of travel
