🌍 For over a decade, Discover Corps has been crafting Unforgettable Vacations with Purpose for adults and families, inspiring travelers to become advocates for the planet’s natural wonders, cultural treasures, and local communities. Our mission remains the same: to offer immersive, sustainable travel experiences that spark discovery and connection.

✨ It all started with our founder, Andrew Motiwalla, a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer and passionate world explorer. He recognized the growing desire for authentic, meaningful travel—and Discover Corps was born. But the roots of our journey trace back even further, to 2003, when Fred Swaniker, a visionary from Ghana, helped establish the African Leadership Academy, paving the way for our sister company, Global Leadership Adventures, founded in 2004.

Today, Discover Corps offers immersive travel experiences across the globe, from the Alaskan rainforest to Bhutan’s hidden kingdom.

🌏 Ready for an adventure where breathtaking beauty meets thrilling experiences? From unmatched wildlife to the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef and the pristine beaches of the Gold Coast, now is the perfect time to discover the Land Down Under.

As part of our "Top 3" Series, here’s why Australia should top your travel list in 2025:

Unrivaled Wildlife

Australia is a haven for wildlife lovers! Through our exclusive partnership with David Fleays Wildlife Park, you’ll get up close with wallabies, koalas, and kangaroos while helping rangers care for these iconic creatures. Get a behind-the-scenes look at conservation efforts, plant trees, and truly connect with Australia’s wild side.

The Great Barrier Reef

No trip to Australia is complete without exploring the world’s largest coral reef system—the Great Barrier Reef. Spend three days in Cairns on a curated adventure with a Master Reef Guide, discovering how Australia is protecting this natural wonder. From evening strolls along Cairns' seaside esplanade to a full day exploring the reef by boat and cruising through the ancient Daintree Rainforest, every moment will be unforgettable.

The Gold Coast—One of the World’s Best Beaches!

Australia’s coastline is legendary, and the Gold Coast is its crown jewel. With miles of golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and lush hinterlands, these beaches are among the best on the planet. Whether you’re a surfer, a sun-seeker, or simply want to relax by the ocean, the Gold Coast has it all. 🇦🇺
