What does travel mean to you?

I believe travel changes you..

Every new place explored, every new culture discovered, and every new challenge defeated opens your mind in a way that you often never expected.

The incredible sunsets over spectacular scenery, the new and exciting tastes of the local street food, the fascinating insights and rituals of a culture so far from your own:

Travelling often allows you to discover a world that you never knew existed.

But the beauty of travel is that not every trip has to be so epic to be transformative: it can also be so blissfully simplistic.

After all, there’s nothing quite like taking a dip in that stunning infinity pool or relaxing in a hammock with a good book and a cocktail after a particularly stressful season.

Travelling for me, though, is about more than just ‘holidays’.

It’s about discovery, education, transformation, and of course — fun.

It’s about stories of child-raising with a widow in a desolate mountain village, hearing memories of a couple fleeing Venezuela over drinks in Colombia, and listening to business expansion dreams of a Nicaraguan local.
