Biography
“What do you love? What do you protect? Where do you want to travel with purpose?” are inspiring words from Augusto Valverde, host and creator of Global Child "Travel & Purpose”, the top-ranked travel television program worldwide for reach and distribution. On each episode, Augusto is joined by celebrity guests in exotic destinations who support him in his quest to give back through local causes. He is a published author, diver, ocean conservationist, and Christian jail chaplain with a degree in Theology. He is currently working to obtain his PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
“Impact works like ripples,” Valverde says. “We don't always see its final size based on the initial action. Therefore, when you travel, if you take a moment to do something positive for the place, then it ends up having a ripple effect that—if we all began to do it—really can change the world.”
Global Child is now filming its fourth season. You can watch Global Child on Peacock, VIZIO, Roku, major airlines and other international networks.
