Travel That Gives Back: Olivia’s Partnership with Sustainable Travel International
At Olivia, we know that travel is more than just a journey. It is a way to come together as community, to recharge, and a chance to care for the world around us. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Sustainable Travel International, a women-led social enterprise dedicated to protecting destinations around the world.
Since launching our offset program, we’ve offset 1,290 metric tons of carbon, balancing the emissions from our team and artist travel to and from our destinations. That’s the equivalent of eliminating over 2.3 million miles of car travel, and a direct investment in the health of our planet.
The projects we support go far beyond carbon math. They improve lives, protect Indigenous communities, and empower women. They lift up communities around the world.
Here's How:
In India, the Garo Clean Cookstoves project is replacing harmful open-fire cooking with fuel-efficient stoves that improve health and reduce emissions. With safer kitchens and less time spent collecting firewood, women and children are seeing direct improvements in their daily lives, while nearby forests remain intact.
On farms across the United States, Rootella Carbon is helping restore soil and fight climate change. Using natural mycorrhizal fungi, this project increases soil carbon by creating a stable type of carbon that can remain in the ground for 10,000 years. This boosts crop yields and allows farmers to benefit financially through carbon credit revenue.
The Khalladi Wind Farm, located near Tangiers, is one of Morocco’s major investments in renewable energy. It brings clean electricity to thousands, reduces fossil fuel dependence, and provides meaningful local employment.

Cambodia’s Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary project protects more than 166,000 hectares of threatened forest, home to endangered species and rich biodiversity. It also uplifts Indigenous communities through education, job creation, and women's programs tied directly to forest conservation.
In the Yaeda Valley of northern Tanzania, one of the world’s last remaining hunter-gatherer communities is being supported through forest preservation and enhanced enforcement of land rights. The Yaeda-Eyasi Landscape project helps protect the Hadza people’s way of life and channels funding into healthcare and education, especially for women and girls.
Indonesia’s Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve stands out for its size and scope. It preserves carbon-rich peat swamp forests while investing in many community programs. From microloans for women, clean water, and education access to supporting orangutan rehabilitation in the Tanjung Puting National Park, it’s a project where climate action and community care go hand in hand.
Together with Sustainable Travel International, we’re showing what it means to travel with intention, proving that small choices can lead to powerful change. Join us in turning every offset into opportunity—for people, for the planet, and for future generations.
