During our scouting in Bali, we sat down with Kyle, the founder of . Their team is doing incredible work transforming discarded tires into stylish, durable footwear—tackling environmental waste head-on while championing the circular economy.

What makes Indosole stand out is their commitment to giving waste a second life through thoughtful, creative design. Seeing their operation up close reinforced why we personally scout, vet, and curate every single stop on our itineraries.

At Eden Travel International, we believe the most impactful learning happens firsthand. By laying the groundwork ourselves, we connect our groups directly with trailblazing founders, innovative brands, and local pioneers who are actively reshaping global industries.

From sustainable design to ethical supply chains, our goal is to take students far beyond the classroom—giving them direct access to the changemakers shaping our future.

Because the most meaningful educational journeys aren't just about seeing the world—they’re about understanding the people, ideas, and innovations driving it forward. 🌏✨

🌴 Behind the Scenes in Bali: Curating World-Class Industry Visits & Partnerships 🇮🇩

“What transforms a good study abroad programme into a life-changing one? For us, it’s the calibre of the people our students get to learn from.” ✨

In early October, Melissa joined Nana and our Bali team to scout, vet, and secure the professional hosts and site visits that will anchor Eden Travel International’s upcoming programmes.

A major focus of the trip was meeting directly with the founders, designers, and innovators who will be opening their doors to our groups. From touring circular economy pioneers like to sitting down with traditional textile masters and creative enterprise leaders across Canggu, Sanur, and Ubud, Melissa spent the trip building genuine relationships with the local experts who make learning come alive.

We don't simply book generic tours—we personally interview each host, explore their facilities, and co-design exclusive sessions so our students gain direct access to insider knowledge, candid business insights, and meaningful cultural perspectives.

Pair that with rigorous on-the-ground checks of accommodations, transport logistics, and trusted local guides, and the result is an immersive learning experience that is seamless, safe, and deeply impactful.

Follow along over the coming weeks as we reveal who we met, the incredible hosts joining our network, and what you can experience on our upcoming Bali programmes! 🌏✨
