Travel with Purpose: Empowering Youth and Communities

For over six years, being a Big Brother with Big Brothers Big Sisters has been one of the most rewarding journeys of my life. It has demonstrated the powerful impact that guidance and support can have on young people when they need it most, inspiring me to make giving back a core part of my work.

When you book a luxury trip with Custom Trips, a portion of my commission is donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters programs, helping to empower youth and strengthen communities. Your travels not only create unforgettable memories but also contribute to building brighter futures for young people.

With Custom Trips, you’re not just exploring the world, you’re making a difference. Let’s plan your next remarkable journey and create lasting change side by side.
