Hi Adventure Philanthropists!

Am off and running this week, with nine speeches scheduled at New York-area schools. From the ultra fancy Greenwich Country Day School (alma mater of George H. W. Bush), to the second-graders at PS 127 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, I’m out spreading the story of the “Adventure Philanthropist!”

Have a child, niece or grandson in school? Would love to go and speak with their class too! Just drop me a note at: Erin@GoErinGo.com.

All in all, having big fun in the Big Apple!

So psyched to have met up with fellow travelers here in NYC, including Courtney & Adam & baby Jasper from my Milford Trek in New Zealand’s South Island more than 2 years ago and Antoinette, my good buddy whom I met first in Buenos Aires and then again while hiking in Patagonia. The traveler circle is small!

See you on the road!  Erin
