On this week\\u2019s episode we dive into the \\u201cwhy\\u201d of travel content creation with expat conservationist, Dustin Thompson. Dustin got trained and volunteered as an anti-poaching ranger back in 2015, and now runs a conservation fund called Global Guardians. During our conversation he shares stories from his training and his time being a ranger, as well as the incident which impacted him and gave him the idea to create Global Guardians Conservation Fund. He shares how you can get involved in conservation, no matter where you are from, and why training in Africa can be the perfect adventure you\\u2019ve been looking for.

This story is intimately linked with content creators because my original connection to Dustin came from a content creator named Rachel Claire. If you haven\\u2019t already, I\\u2019d highly recommend listening to episode 22 to hear her story. It was her photos and the people she was able to connect me with, such as Grant from episode 28, that led me to chatting with Dustin and even Geoffrey from episode 44. That\\u2019s why I think travel content creation can be such a force for good as we tell stories that matter with the content we create.
