Most people who build something that valuable cash out. She turned it into an inheritance for people the world usually ignores instead of a payout for herself.

Exactly! It’s such a unique story today

Love so many things here. Completely agree that family friendly doesn’t have to mean waterslides and infrastructure. Some of our best family travel memories just involve exploring what a hotel and destination has to offer - gardens in the English countryside with a toddler exploring alongside British retirees, a walk along the beach in grand cayman, etc.

I also like the idea that travel doesn’t always have to be comfortable. You don’t need every checklist item filled - getting out of your zone expands your horizons and leaves you with more stories to tell

Yes! Some of my favorite memories are those small moments with my kids - like throwing sticks in a pond, or breakfast in bed in robes
