Purpose-driven travel is more than a five-star resort: Global Child creator Augusto Valverde explains how any trip can include a moment of giving back.

Augusto Valverde is the creator and host of Global Child: Travel & Purpose, a travel series that streams on Tubi, Pluto TV, Peacock and major airlines and has passed 850 million impressions in three years. A former Miami party promoter, jail chaplain and NBC Universal host, he started the show with a selfie stick, standby airline tickets and no funding, and now films with partners from the Four Seasons to Andrea Bocelli.

Mike and James talk with Augusto about where the name Global Child came from, the Quechua family in Peru who taught him what travel is really for, and why he thinks the travel industry should build give-back moments into its packages. He also shares how adding value first won over hotels and celebrities, how destinations get chosen and funded, and why Mauritius and Greece top his list.
