Finding Startups

Today we speak to Carmen Castricum, Co-Founder of The Green Stamp, an online platform to help travelers book ecological wildlife tours and make sustainable choices in daily life. Starting a travel platform just before the pandemic is probably not the best timing, but Carmen tells us, how they adapted to the times to still be able to contribute to the wildlife conservation organisations they support. We touch upon Digital Nomadism and sustainable travel and how we as travelers can be more conscious of our impact and we talk about the importance of technology in conservation.
