"Become a Backstreet Ambassador and Help make Impact Travel Mainstream!"

Travel is one of the world's biggest industries at over US$7.6 Trillion dollars. Yet, it is no secret how little of it actually flows down to the local communities who need it most. A report by UNEP estimates say tourism leakage can be more than 80% of total revenue, but in many developing countries it can be even worse.

The Vision

What if we could change that? What if people can do good as they travel, simply by enjoying unique and meaningful local-crafted experiences? Imagine if up to 80% of revenue goes directly to local communities, what a difference it would make!

The Backstreet Ambassadors Program

We started the Backstreet Ambassadors Program because creating a movement is difficult, making it mainstream is even harder. And movements do not succeed without the help of individuals influencing those around them. It is the collective power that makes a movement successful and create lasting impact. As an influencer, you are in a unique position to help make this a reality. With your support, we can gradually change the industry and get people in tune with the concept of impact travel and help bring it mainstream!

Our Style of Impact Travel

We focus on alleviating poverty & preserving traditional heritage by empowering people at the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) to become micro-entrepreneurs who run their own unique travel experiences for travelers. We develop technologies that translates online bookings into local language calls and SMSes catered for people at the BoP who can’t speak English or access smartphones, effectively turning their disadvantages in terms of language, education, rural traditions into advantages in the eyes of travelers.

Here’s an article by one of our guests on how we managed to turn the disadvantages of a 90 year old minority elder into his advantage.

Whether it is fishing with a hospitable fisherman in his boat-house or making knives with the local blacksmith, we have over 1,300 unique experiences in 8 countries and 40 cities. Through running Backstreet Experiences, many of our hosts are able to increase their monthly income 2-3 times simply by running experiences 1-2 times a week while at the same time preserving the traditional heritage for future generations.

Zhi Feng

The Poor Man’s Backpack

I never imagined myself to fall in love with travelling. After graduating from university I worked full time as an actuary, a 9-5 desk job that consists almost entirely of doing complex statistical models in front of a computer screen. After a year I questioned whether that is what I really wanted to do with my life, so on a whim I booked flights to backpack in a remote part of China all on my own and for the very first time. A few days into that trip, I realised I had found my passion. Once I came back I simply couldn’t sit still when my eyes have been opened to just how unimaginably large the world is and how much of it I have yet to explore.

Since then I have travelled across South East Asia and what I enjoy the most is not the famous landmarks awash with tourists looking for the best Instagram shot, but to really mix in with the locals, learn their culture, taste their cuisine and see their country all from their point of view. Along the way I also realised that I had a love for storytelling and after teaching myself how to edit videos, I started my YouTube channel the Poor Man’s Backpack.

If this is something you’re interested in doing for yourself, then you’re more than welcome to follow me along on my journey!

Simone & Steven

The Couple in Row 51

We are Steven and Simone, two young and adventurous Dutch human beings who happened to fall in love with each other. Together we wander our planet with our camera, exploring new countries and meeting amazing people from different places and cultures. All to create everlasting memories

But while doing so we are much aware that it comes at an unfortunate cost for our environment. We both have been travelling a lot over the past ten years and we have seen many wonderful and exciting things. And we surely plan on seeing much more. That’s why we decided to change our course and travel as slow and green as possible from this moment on. Sharing stories, ideas and steps we take, towards a more responsible way of travelling with you.

But there is more. As we set foot in New Zealand, our new home for the coming year, we are challenging ourselves to take zero flights on our long way (18.666KM) back home to the Netherlands in 2020. Instead, we are venturing into the world of travelling by foot, bicycle, motorbike, car, train and boat. All to raise awareness and to learn more about the impact of travel on our precious planet and to find out more about the responsible alternatives of transportation.

Cheers,

Steven & SimoneThe couple in row 51
