Mr. Brad Pierce, a Young Professionals Steering Committee member since our group's inception, has done what so many of us would love to do: he’s taken a year-long sabbatical to travel the world and collect the stories of people he meets!
Brad left Portland a few months ago to begin his trip across the United States, and he intends to circumnavigate the planet without flying – using only ground transportation: trucks, buses, trains, and boats! A few weeks ago he boarded a container ship bound for Belgium! He's in Europe now, and actively chronicling his trip at "People in Passing," a blog he regularly updates with thoughtful, humorous, and at times moving descriptions of true humanity.
Brad’s writing has a sincere, intelligent humility that any travel writer would do well to emulate. The Young Professionals wish Brad safe yet exciting travels – keep writing, we’ll be reading!
