How great it is to see so many of you come and join us in celebrating the 15th anniversary of our travel magazine. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for being here. A little more than fifteen years ago, we were sitting at our regular jobs, discussing how we saw our future, when we came up with the idea of joining our two hobbies, traveling and writing. We never imagined that our tiny dream would come true so soon. There were many special people who joined us and made it possible to create the name that we have today. To all those people and those who joined us in our journey, I should say thank you again. Without your efforts we would never have been here.
