FLYTE is more than a non-profit organization. It is a community built by supporters and donors who want to empower students to change their lives \u2013 and the world \u2013 through travel. <\/i><\/p>\n
The Lindroos family \u2013 Ren, Wanda & Richard \u2013 are the epitome of #FamilyGoals. Together, they’ve traveled the world and created Richer for Wandering<\/a>, a company that creates travel inspired wearable art. Ren designs all of the products and they also donate a portion of the proceeds from their Mark Twain collection<\/a> to FLYTE. You can<\/i> find them at markets in Southern California or online here<\/a>. Ren shares\u00a0their story below. We’re so grateful for this family’s creative energy and love for FLYTE!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n How has travel impacted your life?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n Travel has given me the opportunity to see and be inspired by both natural and man-made wonders. It has introduced me to exciting and interesting people who have motivated me on my journeys and have become cherished friends.<\/p>\n What’s your favorite travel memory?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Picking only one memory is rather challenging. When I start to think back on one memory, like the beauty of New Zealand and all the friendly Kiwis, then another one comes to mind. I\u2019ll remember the art of Rome and Florence, the castles in Scotland, or the energy of working at Paris Fashion Week. Every destination I\u2019ve been to holds a unique and special memory.<\/p>\n Tell us more about Richer for Wandering. How has travel shaped your company’s vision and goals?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Richer for Wandering is the result of three years of living out of a suitcase. Our vision and goal is to create art inspired by travel; to encourage people to take adventures, explore new places, and experience new cultures. It\u2019s not just about exploring a new continent though, we want to inspire curiosity and that traveling, even to a new place in your neighborhood, can be an adventure.<\/p>\n
