Dedication

Traveling is a privilege that I have found widens my perspective and understanding of people living in very different circumstances. It has simply made me a better person. I have a wonderful family and group of friends that have been so supportive for the fulfillment of this dream. Most importantly, I have had parents that encouraged me to go on this trip. The idea was developed in the last year of their lives and helped all of us get through some difficult times. This trip is in honor and memory of Mom and Dad as a form of gratitude and appreciation for their unfailing love and support.
