Travel is a privilege with Bianca Raby.

Bianca Raby was so keen to learn about the world but didn’t know how to do that through a textbook. Instead, she went out and explored it for herself.

We are impacting communities, we are changing the landscape of different suburbs we are gentrifying things we are expecting services like home and those services are being created for us and so we have to be really careful that we are always acknowledging that the local people are inviting us in and letting us do this.
