At Candid Voyage, my mission is to inspire a change in the way we travel and the way we interact with this planet through the art of story-telling. In today's world, it can be easy to be overcome by despair when we think of the impacts of climate change and the destructive nature of humanity. But I believe strongly in the power of positivity and the possibility for change. By sharing stories across the globe that foster an improved relationship with one another and this beautiful world we call home, we can shift the paradigm from despair to that of joy. So let's save the planet, one story at a time!
