Today’s young men and women, known casually as the “Digital Natives,” tend to seek travel for leisure to explore diverse cultures, cuisines and landscapes. Seeking authentic experiences, personal growth and digital detox, they desire a break from routine, in search of opportunities for creative content for various social media platforms.
These are not their stories.
These are the stories of Olivet Nazarene University students — stories not about sightseeing but immersive experiences. It is a feature about students making connections and impacting the world for the very One Who created it. The Bourbonnais, Illinois, campus offers limitless opportunities. But our students also like to travel. And while they collectively may value sustainability and prefer eco-friendly travel options — and all the selfdiscovery that comes with a focused sojourn — they travel with a purpose. They have chosen to commit their free time, travel opportunities and their lives to contribute positively to the world.
