About Us

Kate can be found anywhere near the ocean. With a passion for surfing, travel and the environment, Kate decided she wanted to give back to communities around the world. Kate has a double degree in Government, International Relations, and International Business and works for the Red Cross. During her travels, she realised that there were a lot of organisations needing to be recognised and a lot more effort was needed to discover where and who these organisations were, whether that be giving back to local communities or being environmentally friendly.

Mieka always knew she wanted a career which combined her desire to help others and explore the world. With a background in International Studies and Marine Science, Mieka can be found scuba diving in the Red Sea, trekking in Nepal or providing Emergency Relief at Australian Red Cross. After living and working abroad for many years and becoming aware of the negative effects travel can have, Mieka started Seeachange.org to bring together a hub of sustainable tour operators and non-profits that have a positive impact on communities, environment, and wildlife.

Hey! We're Connor + Alix Bruson
Most days you can find us either up in the mountains trail running or biking, or at our favorite local coffee shop editing videos or dreaming up our next adventure.
We started Acts of Adventure to document our travels both near and far, and also to tell the stories of those who are doing good things in the world. Check out more videos and articles on our blog. Our hope is to inspire others to live and travel purposefully and intentionally.
