Reclining Buddha in Bangkok

Round the World (and back) this Spring ~ Photo of the Day

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back

To say the least, my travels this spring have been surrealistic. In 2 months’ time, I was in Thailand, Bhutan, Italy, Germany and Zambia. Oh, and Texas. I haven’t done the math, but I might have racked up 60,000+ miles. The strangest moment came for me was when I was in Zambia looking over images Read More…

Zambia – aka Africa-light

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back

When I emailed my friend Leslie, who lives in Africa most of the year (and runs Mamba Tembo Tours), that I had heard people refer to Zambia as Africa-light, she emailed back and said that was interesting because most people call South Africa, Africa-light. HA! It was actually two South Africans who told me this Read More…

Girl on Lusaka Tour

Komboni Tour in Lusaka, Zambia

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back

As I write this post, I’m sitting on a plane. Next to me is a couple with a toddler. The child is crying. They’re showing him videos, looking at picture books, feeding him Fruit Loops and alternating between sippy cups of water and juice in an attempt to keep him quiet and from pounding on Read More…

We Bought a Library! (in Zambia)

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back

Actually, YOU bought a library. And it was officially 2 libraries that were funded when you donated to Passports with Purpose in 2011 during our annual 2-week fundraiser. As co-founders, Michelle Duffy of WanderMom, Debbie Dubrow of DeliciousBaby and I got to visit one of the libraries during an opening ceremony. (Sadly, our other co-founders, Read More…

Passports with Purpose Zambia

Zambia Bound ~ Passports with Purpose

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back

I should know by now that when I look at how my year is going to play out in terms of travel, that there will be twists and turns that I had never expected. A trip to Zambia in a few weeks is just such a trip. Very recently, Expedia stepped up and offered to Read More…

WanderTours Giving Program

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back, > Tours

My first big trip abroad was a year-long backpacking adventure through Asia. Even with little money in my pocket (I had to stop in Australia to work for a few months in order to fund the second half of my trip), I’ve always been moved to give back to the communities that I have visited. Read More…

Passports with Purpose Widget

PwP – We DID it, no YOU did it!

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back

I don’t even know where to start with this post. I’m pretty flooded with emotions this morning. Looking at the Passports with Purpose widget, I’m honestly in awe that we made our goal this year. A day early. It’s not that I had any doubt that we’d make it, but I’m overwhelmed by the amount Read More…

Final Days to Win at Passports with Purpose

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back

We had a kickoff party for Passports with Purpose last week at Hotel 1000. There were probably 40 somethin’ people there including Teresa and Bella (pictured left) from this year’s Platinum Sponsor, Round the World with Us. I’ve know about RTW with Us for awhile – this family (including mom, a significant other, 3 kids Read More…

Help us Build Libraries in Zambia and Win a Big Island Luxury Getaway

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back

Seattleites adore Hawaii – it’s (relatively) close; the weather is almost always nice; and it’s got everything you could desire for a vacation – palm trees, warm, blue water and beautiful resorts. I visited the Big Island for the first time this fall. The Kohala Coast to be specific. It’s the driest region of all Read More…

Passports with Purpose Village – Photo of the Day

| POSTED IN:> Giving Back

Can you grock this? It’s how a hole is drilled for the placement of re-bar for the foundation of a home built by LAFTI. This is just one of 25 homes being funded by Passports with Purpose! I had the great honor of visiting our village in Kuranganni, Tamil Nadu, India, just a couple of Read More…
