You can have the most extraordinary teachers and the best written books but you can only learn so much from the classroom. The best way to understand our world is to travel and experience it first hand. Meeting new people, learning languages, being surrounded by other cultures and savoring local cuisine - the impact is life changing.

Project Travel makes it possible to experience the world by helping students to get creative and take an active role in reaching their budget goals. It's not about asking for money, it's about sharing the journey. Inviting your friends and family to experience something amazing right alongside you.

On a personal note, I'm a lover of off-the-beaten-path, festivals, zombies, chevre, 2buck chuck, cotton candy, the smell of toast, bad jokes and even better puns.
