Today's guest is here to talk about some really unique opportunities for us to experience the outdoors as families and in a way where we're giving back because

we talk a lot about that on this podcast.

We've had a lot of guests on here to talk about how important it is to give back to the

community as hikers, as outdoor enthusiasts, there's different ways we can volunteer or make

donations.

Today's guest, I think, is going to talk about a way that we can do this, give us

a unique experience. Yeah, I'm going to let him do all the talking. I'll let him explain it.

Christopher Hill, welcome to Popover Hikes.

Thanks, Martin. Fantastic to be here.

Christopher, let's start off by talking about hands-up holidays and what it is you're doing over there because i read about it but i want

i want you to tell our audience what it is you're doing over there sure it hands-up holidays is a

travel company that puts together tailor-made trips that combine sightseeing with giving back.

And so the sort of classic example of that would be, say, let's take a seven-day trip

to Costa Rica, for example.

And so it could be a combination of hiking around Aronal volcano, whitewater

rafting, ziplining, nature walks, maybe bean to bar chocolate making, maybe visiting

a organic coffee plantation. And then spending two or three days helping give back. And that might be helping at a wildlife

rescue center or it could be helping renovate a school, that sort of thing. And then maybe you

spend a couple of days at the end on the beach doing some surfing or snorkeling or diving

or just chilling out. That's that's it in a nutshell right it's not all work no play you get some opportunities in here to have some fun as well yeah yeah very much the idea is it is still a vacation with a with a with a touch of of giving back is the idea.

Right.

And that's what I loved about this when I read it that,
