Imagine this… You’ve booked your flight and are on your way to the airport. Everything seems fine until you get there and suddenly something goes completely wrong. You’ve just done something you shouldn’t do in an airport, and you end up stuck in that little room trying to explain what just happened.

So, you’re a young adventurer and you feel invincible. You’ve climbed a couple of peaks and don’t really think about what happens next. That’s at least what it was like for me back in the 80s.

Many people feel that meaningful travel is strictly about going on a volunteering vacation, but there are many ways to make your travel meaningful.Dave and I have always added meaning to our travels. Be it traveling responsibly, raising money for a cause, stopping at sanctuaries or projects, and interacting with the locals, there are many ways to enrich your travels while making your life and other people’s lives better.
