My name is Mike. I am a college professor and have been an educator for over 30 years. Since the age of 21, I’ve had the privilege of exploring over 30 countries, traveling in every way you can imagine—backpacking, joining tours both large and small, and even adventuring solo. Each journey has shaped my life in unique and profound ways, and I firmly believe that travel has the power to do the same for you.

For college students, travel isn’t just a getaway—it’s an investment in yourself. It’s a time to expand your horizons, experience cultures firsthand, and gain perspectives you’ll never find in a classroom. Whether you’re navigating foreign streets, engaging with new communities, or simply sitting with your thoughts in a faraway place, travel offers invaluable lessons about the world and yourself.

College is the perfect time to embark on these adventures. You’re at a stage in life where curiosity meets freedom, and the world is wide open for exploration. Traveling during these years builds resilience, fosters empathy, and inspires creativity, all while creating unforgettable memories and stories to carry with you forever.

Through this website, I want to inspire and empower you to take that leap, whether it’s your first trip or your next adventure. Discover how travel can change the way you see the world and yourself. Change your story and maybe change the world along the way.
