Cultural Convergence

• Chief Legal Officer

  • Sep 2018 - Mar 2020

  Cultural Convergence is a non-profit, sustainable travel company that provides private, fully personalized tours throughout Latin America, while focusing on improving the economic and ecological conditions of disadvantaged communities. We serve the local communities by bringing much-needed income without exploiting the very aspects that make these places special. We promote sustainable culture by using only local guides, keeping group sizes to a minimum, and learning from indigenous peoples about the challenges facing their communities. Ecologically, we educate our travelers on the local environmental issues caused by pollution and climate change, and inform them on how they can help make a difference. We promote a "zero waste" travel experience by cleaning up, not only after ourselves, but less environmentally conscious tour groups as well. We encourage sustainable transportation and accommodations. Additionally, we provide rebates to those who donate to local volunteer, cultural, and ecological causes. www.convergencetours.com Show less
