International travel has tremendous power — to open eyes, shatter barriers, and build bridges. Leaving home can radically reshape our preconceptions about the world, yet nearly two-thirds of Americans lack the resource they need to embark on those transformative experiences. That’s exactly why we created the Passport Project.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” full_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1513870947665{background-image: url(https://test.passionpassport.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/passport-project-one-header.jpg?id=86428) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Theirs was a trip full of emotion, evoking questions of self-identity, country, the meaning of family, and what makes a home from the very start.
See their journey by watching our video, soak in the experience of being in Senegal through Mohammed’s images, and get inside Matthew’s head by reading his series of reflective essays.
Their story touched our hearts and inspired us in new ways. We’re sure it will do the same for you.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1513871352182{padding-top: 48px !important;}”]
