When we travel, we venture outside of ourselves and into other worlds and mindsets. In this Thursday’s Twitter chat, we’re focusing on the trips in which you have embarked out to make the world a better place. We want to hear your stories and lessons you’ve learned while serving others, developing projects and bringing smiles to new faces through acts of kindness.

 

Share your stories and photos with us this Thursday 7/21, at 2pm EST, by using the tag #PassionPassport on Twitter! We’ll be joined by two co-hosts who have traveled around the globe with a purpose to serve those in need.

  • Zach Louw (@diaryofzach) is a self taught photographer and videographer with a passion for capturing intimate moments.
  • Stephanie Dandan (@infinitesatori) is a travel writer and photographer who believes in preserving unity through the power of travel and storytelling.
