Raf Dionisio’s job selling panty liners simply could not distract him from his longing for the outdoors. His love for the environment, knack for connecting with people, and entrepreneurial mindset have allowed him to see travel and tourism as effective and fun means for creating positive social change.
Raf now runs MAD Travel with our host Tom, and The Circle Hostel, a line of budget friendly eco-hostels in the Philippines. These enterprises come together to help Raf help others through reforestation, cultural preservation, and a #ThereAreNoStrangers mindset.
In this interview, Raf tells us more about:
- The links between nature, poverty, and culture - Tourism as a tool for social change - Happiness and authenticity - Why the mountains on our Instagram feeds are not as nice as they may seem
