Final Thoughts
For over 25 years, I have crafted a life centered around travel—regardless of my life stage.
We choose to travel to align with our core values: love, joy, connection, growth, contribution, and freedom. These are the memories we seek—experiences that evoke these feelings within us.
Such experiences signify a happy and fulfilling life.
Additionally, we have developed a successful online travel business that allows us the freedom to explore at will, thriving for over a decade.
