Emotional Endorphins

Terence McKenna author of the InvisibleLandscape by Dean Chamberlain

"The life you Live is the Legacy you leave." -Lynne Twist

As Buckminster Fuller said, "everyone has the perfect gift to give the world -and if each of us is freed up to give the gift that is uniquely ours to give, the world will be in total harmony."

Emotional Endorphins
On the surface, Philanthropic Travel is thought of by affluent travelers as an effective way to donate money to grassroots humanitarian outreach projects while they visit in an exotic destination.

Philanthropic Travel's true value flows in both directions.
When Lynne Twist describes her first philanthropic travel experience meeting the Anchur people in the Ecuadorian Amazonian Basin and how that brief interaction changed her life; the intangible donation from the indigenous culture to the affluent traveler is realized. (page 177). The Soul of Money is the best description of the value of becoming a philanthropic traveler that I have ever read.

Philanthropic Travel has the Power to Transform Lives
If you thought visiting a village the next time you travel and making a tax deductible donation to build a school, dig a well, fund a micro-credit entrepenuerial co-operative or introduce kids whose parents died from AIDS to a sports outreach orphanage is all about what you will donate while traveling...read The Power of Money by Lynne Twist -the ask your kids to read it!

The open secret of how the 'invisiblelandscape,' of philanthropic travel will transform your life will inspire you from page one to infinity.
