WHAT DO OTHER YOUNG EXPLORERS HAVE TO SAY?
“The most important life lesson I learnt from Mike is that we, the
youth, can really do it. If we all work together for one goal we
can reach it. We can make this world a better place to live.”
Michelle Nay, 19, Switzerland, Malaysia Expedition, Oct. ‘09
“I’m a city born and bred, only after the Pangaea Expedition
did I found out the unique beauty of nature. I’m seeking ways
to preserve the nature amid China’s dramatic urbanism. ‘I don’t
intend to stop people making progress but to do it in a healthy
way, especially in an eco-friendly way.’
Jun Lee, 17, China, New Zealand Expedition, May. ‘09
“This experience has changed the way I see the world. Today, I
realize how we depend on nature and how we destroy it as well.
After this experience I will be a leader, leading by example, and
I will be the first one to take the step.“
Rodrigo Neves Steinman, 16, Brasil, Malaysia Expedition Oct. ‘09
