The Journey
[/tm_pb_text][tm_pb_divider admin_label=”Divider” color=”#ffffff” show_divider=”off” divider_style=”solid”] [/tm_pb_divider][tm_pb_text admin_label=”Content of Our Journey” text_orientation=”justified” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] When we started this journey, over six years ago, Dave had already been taking student groups to Belize for almost a decade. On each trip, Dave had developed relationships with resorts, built partnerships with local non-profit organizations, tour guides and educational institutions. In each case they were very excited to share their beautiful country with Dave and his students. Michael, who knew Dave as a fellow educator, joined him to help out with a growing demand for the trips. Soon, the groups morphed from being only student-focused to the formation of additional groups for adult travelers, who wanted more from their trip then a “drink on a tropical beach”. In January 2012, Dave and Michael invited their friend Eric to capture the tour in a series of photographs. They spent the week immersed in the culture, history and nature of Belize, exploring caves filled with Mayan artifacts, admiring vivid colors of the lake at the 5 Blue National Park, and hiking rainforests observing pristine wildlife. At the end of that trip, transformed by their experiences, Dave, Michael and Eric formed Inspire EdVentures in hopes to provide others with a unique lens to discover Belize and support local education and conservation efforts.
