Why We Travel
Recently I was asked to detail why we travel in no more than 500 words. While I didn’t manage to keep to the word count, here is my response. Our story is not one of high end luxury getaways, nor is it a cutting edge tale about trekking through jungles, summiting volcanoes or circumnavigating the…
