BEST MOMENTS

"When you create a career around your passion and what you really believe and love, it doesn't turn into a career. It turns into a lifelong goal."

"This is not some average trip or vacation. This is an immersive journey because it really gives you such a whole new perspective on life when you can really go and connect again with people, with cultures so far from your own."

"We all know life is hard, and we all know that it's overwhelming. We all know there's stress. But again, when you can go out there and then you can see how some people say they don't have much when it comes to material things, but they have everything."
