My name is Andrea Heidi Lagler. I am Austrian and was born in Hamburg in June 1969. I was very lucky to grow up in a family in which closeness to nature, love of animals, cosmopolitanism and a strong sense of justice were important values that have stayed with me to this day. In view of the global challenges we all face, I cannot simply watch and wait to see how life on earth develops. And because I am aware of my global responsibility towards my fellow human beings, animals and our environment, I founded GEOlaViva to make a contribution to a fairer world and a future worth living.
My idea:
A "place of solutions" for the challenges of our time!
With GEOlaViva I have created an online space where I can combine my professional >> and personal >> experiences with my desire for positive change for a fairer and better world.
For me, GEOlaViva online is a “place of solutions” for the numerous challenges of our time, because with
GEOlaViva
In order to promote ethical, ecological and social change towards responsible tourism, GEOlaViva recommends travel and leisure offers that are animal-friendly and as environmentally and socially compatible as possible. I bring my many years of experience and expertise as a travel agency expert as well as my specialist knowledge into the selection:
An ethical and sustainable change towards more responsibility and respect for people, animals and nature is also urgently needed in retail / e-commerce. GEOlaViva therefore recommends products and services that are as ecological, social and animal-friendly as possible and thus comply with the principles of the ESG criteria (Environment, Social, Governance). Here, too, my experiences as an employee in retail flow into GEOlaViva's recommendations. My forays into various other professions also prove helpful in selecting recommendations for the Holistic Lifestyle Marketplace:
With GEOlaViva, I want to inspire people to make conscious decisions that not only serve their own well-being, but also include respect and consideration for the community, the environment and all living beings. The focus of my recommendations is therefore a holistic lifestyle that combines ecological, social and ethical aspects.
For me, a holistic lifestyle inseparably includes compassion and respect for all living beings. That is why it is particularly important to me to always take animal rights into account in the GEOlaViva recommendations.
Unfortunately, I haven't always been vegan >> and when I was traveling I didn't think about how visiting animal attractions >> affected the lives of animals. I really hope that I can make some amends with GEOlaViva.
In order to live up to our global responsibility, GEOlaViva also includes the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the selection of recommendations. This gives us the opportunity to contribute to achieving the SDGs. And if we stick together as a community, we can achieve the global goals much faster and easier together.
When doing my own research on various topics, I attach great importance to credibility and transparency. That is why I rely on trustworthy, independent sources such as investigative journalism, scientific studies and the work of NGOs, foundations and experts in the fields of environmental, nature and animal protection. In times of fake news, false labelling and green, climate, health and social washing, it is all the more important to base recommendations on reliable information. That is why the information is mostly provided with sources so that it is clear where the information comes from.
GEOlaViva offers (small) companies, (social) startups, manufacturers, producers, event organizers, tourism companies, retailers and family businesses a platform to increase the visibility of their carefully selected offers.
A prerequisite for a partnership is that companies offer a partner program (affiliate marketing) in addition to their offers. In this way, GEOlaViva can finance itself through commission income in order to continue to make ethical and sustainable offers visible. Since demand often determines supply, I would also like to make a contribution to a sustainable economic turnaround with the carefully selected GEOlaViva recommendations online.
Even as a teenager, I wanted to make the world a little more fair and campaigned for the protection of marine animals with small actions.
Today I know that bigger changes are needed. But I firmly believe that we can achieve great things as a community if we work together to find solutions to the challenges of our time.
Together with NGOs & Co:
I am not aloneI owe the strength not to give up above all to the people who
I would like to make the commitment of these remarkable people visible with GEOlaViva-Together for Solutions.
Because these people show us with their commitment that it is possible to make a difference and that together we can create a better world.
A world in which
With GEOlaViva, I want to create a place for solutions that not only offers opportunities to create a better world, but also connects people and initiatives that are already showing that sustainable change is possible.
With GEOlaViva, I would like to give young, animal-loving people and people in the global south in particular hope to believe in a just world and a future worth living.
