A few of the most wonder-full moments from my travels around the world!
Raised in humble circumstances, my curiosity about the world was first ignited by books, and later by a program that allowed me to correspond with pen pals around the globe. The more I learned about the world, the more precious and valuable it seemed to me, and the more ardently I wanted to explore and protect it.  I embarked on my first international travel adventure completely on my own when I was barely fifteen to meet one of those friends abroad.  Since then, I have never stopped discovering more to love about our little blue planet and its astonishing beauty and diversity.  

I have come to believe in the transformational power of responsible travel.  I believe that ideas can change the world, that standing before a masterpiece can inspire you, that immersing yourself in a foreign culture can expand your worldview, that entering the wilderness can make you feel alive.  I believe that an experience of intense beauty can change your life and empower you to make a difference -- to take action to protect that beauty far into the future. I hope you will join me on my mission to discover and preserve The Wonder of the World.  The journey truly will inspire you!" -- Dr. Jennifer Carol Cook, Founder
