The growth of purposeful travel is a good thing. It can have a positive impact. We should continue to experiment and move along this line.

Connecting with people, getting things done - that's what makes the travel worthwhile.

I believe we can accelerate our acumen, performance and success by leveraging our associations and spending time with people better than us.

We like to be the people who go - can go out into the world and say we're the people seeking places that need bridges built and need the kind of energy that we bring, and then actively doing the show. We will pay for it ourselves. We just want to bring the kind of enjoyment that we know we can bring.

My personal fascination with the power of the crowd has been growing: Exactly what can a 'crowd' accomplish? We know crowds can raise billions of dollars, create Wikipedia, and even design and build small autonomous drones. But how about something large and complex like designing a new car, and maybe someday even a spaceship?

The people around us are at the top of their craft, and we benefit from that.

We actually have a real community of people doing useful things.

It really matters whether people are working on generating clean energy or improving transportation or making the Internet work better and all those things. And small groups of people can have a really huge impact.

That is why we are working with these various groups that have volunteers. We can get a lot of these things done. Nobody has dropped out, and a lot of people would like to join. We now know what each other does.

One of the main points about travelling is to develop in us a feeling of solidarity, of that oneness without which no better world is possible.
