We have also made great progress in generating awareness of our trip. Although it may not be indicated on our web page yet, we have been developing numerous contacts with individuals in several different sectors. We have developed solid leads in the media/journalism arena, have started to cultivate relationships with aid organizations in several countries and continents with whom we hope to promote, and have started to make some contacts with potential donors and sponsors.
All of the feedback we have received so far has been extremely positive. If there are any common themes in our discussions with these individuals and groups, they are: excitement, curiosity, and receptiveness. If the feedback thus far is any indication about the potential success of our trip, we have a lot to look forward to. What was once a lofty dream to travel and explore the world is now, more so than ever, becoming a tangible reality!
