Adventure with a Cause: Impact Initiatives and Travel with Purvi Shah

Send us a text

In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 6: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Purvi Shah.

Born a 3rd-generation Kenyan-Indian, Purvi’s passion for travel was fueled from the road trips and visits to national parks around Kenya with her family as a child. Some of her earliest memories are watching elephants at a salt lick in the Aberdares. During her university years, she travelled extensively around Europe, USA, South America and Australia, but there was always a great pull to return home; her soul would always be in Africa. After starting a career in dentistry, Purvi met and launched a travel blog with her husband, Kamal, which would become Kampur Travel Diaries, which leads customized safaris throughout Africa with the tagline: Adventure With a Cause. Purvi now dedicates all her time to the company as a senior tour consultant and the head of sustainability, specializing in the little details that make travelers’ safaris exceptional.

Christine and Purvi discuss:

· Transitioning from a traditional career to full-time tourism work in the field of impact-driven travel

· How to emphasize storytelling and soul connection in travel 

· The power of impact initiatives that support community projects including menstrual equity, animal care, and education

· Mindful entrepreneurship that focuses on trusting the process, following intuition, and aligning business with values

· Intentional community-building through local guides and authentic cultural exchange
