Hi Briana, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Since I can remember I had a camera in my hand and have always loved to travel. I live for the moments where I can immerse myself completely in a new culture.
About 15 years ago I started working as an international photographer and a photo philanthropist. I worked in Cuba, Honduras, Vietnam, Europe, New Orleans, Spain, Ethiopia and Nepal. Each experience has inspired me to search for those communities where there is a story to be told. I have learned over the years how to use my camera to forge real connections with communities.
What makes Driftwood Adventure Treks different? We are a very small boutique travel company. The group size is 8 people max. Our trips are a variety of experiences from trekking Nepal, photo tours and cultural immersion with the Tribes of Ethiopia or learning from and working with local artisans in Oaxaca, Mexico. We have local partners in the countries in which we travel. Our goal is to give our clients a personal experience from the minute they sign up.
