For us travel is not about going from one place to the next. The real journey is learning about new cultures, laughing, sharing stories and above all giving back and serving others. Service is fundamental part of our marriage and lives. When we asked ourselves what we would do if money were no object we said we would both love to ‘travel around and help people’ so that is what we intend to do. Below are some of our favorite charities and recent contributions. I will keep this list updated as we continue to find new ways to get involved. If you know of a great cause or opportunity that we should look into please feel free to reach out to us directly.
