"Success is a steady wave of happiness." - Travis Bays
 
Travis Bays, the co-founder of Bodhi Surf and Yoga, in Bahia Ballena, Costa Rica shares with us his story of finding and discovering a life and lifestyle that creates income and impact. Travis, originally from the United States, begins his journey as in finance working for Wells Fargo Bank. It wasn't until he joined the United States Peace Corps that his life vision began to open up to what was possible. After his service, Travis stayed in the beautiful tropical country and opened up an eco-conscious tourism company that provides both surfing and yoga to travelers around the world.
 
Recently, the B Corps was nominated as one of the 9 Travel Companies for Eco-Conscious Travellers by Condé Nast in March 2021 (See article here - https://www.cntraveller.com/article/b...).
