Our partners
A project of this magnitude is difficult to imagine without partners. This is why we would like to thank the brands and companies who have decided to support us and trust us. Without them, this adventure would be much more difficult to achieve. In order to be fully transparent, we talk to you here about the different partners who help us and we explain why.
Why partners ?
When choosing to go on a long-term trip, we want to have quality material, that is, efficient and as durable as possible. As part of our Nepal project, we also wanted technical equipment to face the most difficult conditions, without losing comfort (various climatic conditions, altitude, variable terrain ...). And to add to that, we tried to promote, when it was possible, brands or products with an eco-responsible dimension. And not to hide anything from you, choose our equipment while respecting all these criteria, That's expensive. Very expensive. So even if we had saved for a few years to make a big trip, it did not allow us to equip ourselves as well as we would have liked. This is why we have chosen to call on partners. They were able to help us with their advice, their reductions or material donations.
How it works ?
Finding partners is a job that requires a lot of time and investment. As far as we are concerned, and like many, we have set up a partnership file. Then, we sent it to several companies explaining why their products were of interest to us.
The collaboration itself consists of an exchange. Companies offer us their moral support, a financial or material donation, or discounts on their products. In exchange, we invite them to talk about them, to provide them with photo or video content, to write articles, to participate in festivals, to give them material feedback or to promote discussion around the theme of travel.
It is then a matter of finding a balance between what we are ready to provide and what we want to receive.
