A conservation-tourism company which enables positive social and environmental impact in fragile environments. The first KnoWhere Journey launched in Myanmar in spring 2019. Our intention is to expand the company’s super-light footprint into destinations ill-suited to hard construction because of their remoteness, sensitive community issues and delicate ecology. We work in partnership with senior conservationists already operating in the field.
