Traveling the world is an honor and can open your eyes and your heart to so much more than what you once knew. While you travel, you can thank the world for such opportunities by giving back through your journey. Before passing, Anthony Bourdain said it beautifully:
“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”
It’s easier than you think! Travel companies and tours offered give you the opportunity to “leave something good behind”. Ask and they will receive! Your Stellar Travel Advisor will happily help you plan your vacation with these companies and tell you more about how you can give back to their ongoing projects.
