Cassie and Nate run the blog and vlog Native Nomads, all about traveling with a purpose, immersing themselves in the local culture, and leaving the world a better place than they’ve found it. Cassie has a film background and together they do promotional videos for non-profits as well as teach other people how to travel more responsibly. They also discuss eco-friendly travel and what you can do to decrease your carbon footprint.
They talk today all about their business and how you can help make the world a better place, find great volunteer opportunities that actually benefit the community, and even how to reduce your waste at home and abroad.
