Where Do We Go From Here?

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy

Martin Luther King

At Anchor Collection, we believe that travel is a force for good, and that as travelers we have a profound responsibility to step outside our comfort zones, open our minds, and acknowledge and respect each other’s perspectives.

I am sure we are not alone struggling what we can do to make a difference with Black Lives matter. I wanted to share this great resource from our favorite travel magazine Afar.

The least we can do is to read, listen and learn and in order to offer support and have an informed opinion. It’s costs us nothing but our time. And of course continue to travel to open our minds …….
