About Me

CURRENT MISSION

SEE THE WORLD

ABOUT ME

"This is the magic of travel. You leave your home secure in your own knowledge and identity. You meet people you could not invent; you see scenes you could not imagine. your own world, which was so large as to consume your whole life, becomes smaller and smaller until it is only one tiny dot in time and space. You return a different person. All you need to do is give yourself over to the unknown." - Kent Nerburn
