World Footprints

World Footprints World Footprints is guided by a belief in our common humanity.

WORLD FOOTPRINTS is a heart-centered Social Impact travel media company where travelers of conscience and culture can come for information, engagement, education, entertainment and inspiration in the travel space. The multi award-winning World Footprints platform was founded by Tonya & Ian Fitzpatrick, two lawyers who have merged their passion for meaningful travel and their support for social jus

tice. That principle is expressed in the Zulu word Ubuntu “I am because we are” and Tat tvam asi, a Hindu word that translates “I see the other in myself and myself in others”. The philosophy of unity guides the socially minded stories that are found throughout the World Footprints multimedia platform including the website, podcast and YouTube channel. World Footprints offers a space for all voices to be heard and for the full narratives to be shared even if those narratives are uncomfortable because of the value those stories offer for growth and cross-cultural understanding. In addition to the philosophical mission there are two prevailing messages that are echoed through World Footprints: the importance of ground-truthing–(finding your own truth about people and places in order to debunk misinformed opinions) and the transformative power of travel. The content-rich World Footprints website presents stories that expand the narratives of history and cultures in order to provide a deeper travel experience. Content is curated on World Footprints to also raise awareness about important global issues and encourage a sustainable consciousness towards our planet’s natural resources, history, cultural treasures and humanity.

Me…finishing my book manuscript after months of pain, loss and doubts. I met the tight deadline with a few days to spare.

Thanks to for nursing me back to health and for continuing to pay me when I didn’t feel like writing or interviewing anyone. NOW…speaking invites are coming and the book will be in production soon! I can’t believe the end is almost near.

My book, Destination Stewardship, is a love letter to our world and I can’t wait to share it.

Greetings from Catalina Island. This weekend holds lots of adventures for us—things we haven’t done in previous visits like the Bison Experience and zip lining. This weekend we’ll also witness a beach concert and a walk for Pride.

It’s a beautiful day ANY DAY on this island.
