Background
Sometimes we make decisions that don't work out and sometimes we need to grab opportunities that present themselves....Hi my name is Richard and I was employed for 20 years for the same business, working hard to make a career for myself and a stable life my family. Late last year I made a very difficult decision to leave this employment, after following my moral compass, and am now looking at the next chapter of my life in order to realise my ambition of working in travel.
Travel has been a passion of mine from a young age, I credit a solo visit to Australia in my early 20's a the most transformational experience of my life. I want to be able to give the same feeling of joy and excitement that holidays and travel bring to others - life is for enjoyment and new experiences, and for those lucky enough to be able to travel, I believe there is nothing that can match the feeling of carefree enjoyment.
Crowdfunding Request
I require £4000 to top up my own funds to cover the cost of purchasing a travel franchise. This is less that 1/3 of the overall cost, but I am not able to reach this total without help, this is where this idea has come from.
Giving Back
As a thank you to those who contribute, if I reach my funding target and am therefore able to open the business, I will say thank you by offering to beat lowest available publicly available quote of at least one equivalent holiday for you and/or throw in some small holiday extras too, it's the least I could do to pay back.
In my experience, there is a generosity of spirit in most people and I hope that by helping me achieve my goal, I can also help others save whilst experiencing the world. Thank you for reading and your donation.
