Hello, friends, travelers, and community! π
As we celebrate the first anniversary of Life is a Journey, I want to thank you all for joining me on this incredible adventure.
My goal for Life is a Journey is to explore the world with you. Letβs walk in the forest, paddle on a lake, float along a river, and enjoy all life has to offer. Together, we can build a community where we share life lessons, fun trips, and delicious food, and make positive changes in our communities.
Over the past 52 weeks, weβve traveled to incredible destinations, enjoyed nature, delicious food, and great books, and made a positive impact in our communities.
Thank you for being a part of this adventure!
