It's so much more than working with sea turtles. I just returned from an incredible week exploring Baja California Sur, during which we stayed at RED Travel Mexico's camp in Magdalena Bay for a night. The location of this camp is in the middle of nowhere, accessible only by unmarked dirt roads and boats. The effort these guys have put in to build their camp is incredible. It is a magical place that works in the name of connecting and educating people for sea turtle conservation. Join me on an adventure to this camp as I interview RED Travel Mexico's founder Luis Garduño.

I want to be just like Kris & Tom when I grow up. They started traveling 5 years ago, after officially retiring from their publishing careers, and they haven't stopped yet. Now in their early sixties, they don't have a home base, they follow opportunity and wanderlust to the far corners of the earth, like the one they are in during this interview.

**Have you ever considered skipping the traditional study abroad structure and enrolling straight into a foreign university? Hayley Swinson decided she wanted to study abroad again after college and that she didn't need a structured program to help her do it.
