Have Hope; Will Travel

We’re always traveling somewhere. To work. From school. To another country. Back home. When we travel we get to know individuals who are different than we are, we hear stories that are different than ours, and the world becomes a smaller place. Let’s travel together, get to know people, and learn to love well. For more information, visit KatieAxelson.com.
