“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness,
     and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.
          Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired
                  by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
 
​

                      - Mark Twain:The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It

​
For 6 years I travelled around the world. 

I went to over 50 countries 
(the 50th was Malaysia, which I entered in March 2015.)

And the main thing I found again and again, wherever I went 
was the HUMANITY of the people I met.
My favourite moments, and those of the people around me, 
were those when our brotherhood and sisterhood could be felt.

those moments when we feel
INCLUDED, UNDERSTOOD, EMPOWERED and LOVED
by those we meet.


These are the memories we cherish the most
These are the lifetime friendships that blossom, continents apart
These are the moments that change our mind-sets
These are the experiences that will bring peace to our planet

There are people right now who are co-creating this reality,
so it becomes the norm, rather than the exception.

Explore this section to get informed about these projects,
how to travel ethically and sustainably,
and explore the other tabs in the TRAVEL section to
understand the importance of knowledge about

environmental issues and human rights
in the countries you travel to.
