20 percent of profits go toward helping children in unfortunate situations
To be completely honest, I would not have the passion & fire within me to launch this & do this bicycle voyage if I didn’t genuinely believe it could be used to help our fellow neighbors who are suffering. It has been put on my heart to do this.
I haven’t linked a specific non profit as of now, though there are a few that I’m looking into. I will be updating this & posting where it is going as soon as possible.
Real art highlighting the artists
We need to continuously remind one another of our gifts. Authenticity is a key toward creating a better world. I’m honored to launch this brand with some incredible artists.
I’ve had this idea of raising money to help toward alleviating suffering in some form through doing wild voyages. There is so much of it in our world.
I’ve broken so many walls in my mind through these kinds of experiences. I’ve done two bicycle tours, multiple motorcycle trips through India & Nepal, Tuk-Tuk traveling in Sri Lanka, Hitchhiked through six countries, taught english in China & been a part of countless other travels.
Truly, though, the people that I’ve met are what has unveiled this rich canvas on the open road. The colors of this beautiful world become more vibrant through the stories we hear as we open our ears. Through the connections we make when we share experiences with each individual we encounter.
Intention
It is my wish that this brand creates community, supports artists, raises money for people/children in difficult situations & allows me to share what I’m learning through the folks I meet & the encounters I have on the ground level.
Highest timeline version
Custom made earth toned adventure overalls created with high quality (organic) fabrics. You patch it up to make it unique to your odyssey. Kind of like when you see a well traveled van that has stickers of all the places it’s been. You patch the overalls up (if you want) with whatever you so desire. Places you’ve been or favorite plants, art, etc.
To go on wild travels internationally. Whether it be by way of bicycles, motorcycles, train travel, hitchhiking or another form. Not needing it to be year round, but even shorter month long trips & having a sanctuary/land to return to with aligned community. To have a team of folks with a collective mission.
Meet folks & sharing their stories/music with my field recorder. Being so open & in tune with what the moment wants to invoke.
Each season/endeavor would have a living art show on this site that really spotlights the artist. Imagine you go to an art show that features many artists. This would be an online version where it has limited release shirts/hats/prints/products/etc from them that are in tune with the wanderalls brand.
20% of profits go toward supporting non profits on the ground level, helping our neighbors who are suffering.
The videos on my soundvoyaging page are thriving & allowing me to share authentically in a beautiful way. To collaborate as much as possible with so many artists of all sorts.
Current Iteration
Shirts & simple merch connected to a fulfillment company that takes care of the order as it comes in so I am able to do this bicycle tour without needing to deal with any product myself. This eats into the profits for the brand & the non profits. One piece of art being sold on the site currently.
Solo bicycle tour with very little money, but a passion & true care for this new project & an inner knowing that it will all work out. Running this site, posting all the videos on socials, wild camping to save money & really just learning as I go.
A full surrender to whoever I meet on the road & a radical acceptance for all the help I can get, which has always been challenging for me. I feel that I’m being asked to give that up.
Put out videos as much as possible without the need to curate everything. I must share my truth & be open that not everyone will receive it. Which is totally healthy/normal.
20% of profits going to a non profit for children (that feels clear). I don’t have a non profit connected as of now, but I will manually send the 20% to one and share the receipt with you folks. Maybe adding everything up for the month. I want the numbers to be fully transparent from the start.
Looking to collaborate with as many souls as possible along this new path of life that I am fully giving myself to.
Thank you for submitting a question or any information you wish to share. Please give me some time to respond as I am out on the road cycling and camping. It means a lot that you have explored the site enough to have formulated a question around it.
Also, if you just want to be a part of receiving emails, then I’m grateful for that as well. Will be consistently sharing new insights I have on this new journey I am on.
