Episode 22: Probing the waters of transformational travel

In this episode Bob and Greg probe the waters of the topic of transformational travel. At the heart transformational travel is the realization that the journey we are on is not so much an external journey but an internal one. One goes out into the world to explore and seek exciting experiences but transformation cuts both ways: the people you meet can be influenced by you as much (or more) than you are by them. Metamo's mission is to provide a more fulfilling way to travel and to transform the lives of children through its One-to-One Promise in the process, providing education to children who might not otherwise have the opportunity. This episode skims the surface of transformational travel looking for opportunities to take a deeper dive along the way.
