JOURNEYS FOR THE CURIOUS TRAVELER

An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.”
–David Attenborough

TRAVEL IN THE PAST WAS:

• Expensive–there were no great deals
• An Event–people wore their Sunday best for the occasion
• Mostly Businessmen–a few families vacationed but you never saw an independent woman traveler

Times have changed BUT the desire for discovery remains the same.
