The meaning of Transformative Travel with Lindsey Walter

In Memory of Julia Spry-Wilson

Julia wasn’t just our co-founder — she was the heart and soul behind everything we do. Her love for Africa, its people, and its wild places continues to guide our journey.

In 2024, inspired by her legacy, we launched a fundraising campaign that raised USD $12,000 to support grassroots projects across the continent. These initiatives — from coral restoration in Zanzibar to student sponsorships in Ghana — are deeply personal to our team.

This impact wouldn’t be possible without our incredible podcast community, who continue to show up, donate, and share Julia’s spirit with the world. Her vision lives on in every story we tell and every cause we support.
