Sometimes the best thing we can do is pause, breathe, and give thanks before continuing the work.
So, at WorldKind, we decided to stop and remember with gratitude everything accomplished last year before starting to climb the mountain that is 2025. We hope you'll take the time to do the same in your life and work.
Over the next 10 days, we'll be posting our Top 10 Gratitude List from 2024, and today is . . .
10 - Fan Friends
Who shows up for you, to cheer you on and celebrate the wins (or non-wins)?
Ten WorldKind fans and friends showed up to cheer WorldKind on at the GoAbroad Innovation Awards where we were finalists for the Innovation in Sustainability and the Innovative Technology awards.
We didn't win, but I (Meg) left feeling like a huge winner because of all the advisors and partners who showed up for us that night. One of my favorite memories from 2024 is of all of them waving mini-Hamish mascots to celebrate with us!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Martin Rosales, Tonya Veltrop, Cami Ross, Christopher Sippel, Duke Adams, Emily McLemore, Jackie Palmer, Autumn Beechler Stebing, and Lombuso Khoza (not pictured) for showing up and being there. You're the best!

You earned the best reward yet . . . ME!
If your uni or college is a WorldKind partner campus, drop by your Education Abroad office to choose your own Hamish sticker. Can't pick up Hamish in person? Download a virtual sticker HERE.
Take Hamish on your travels abroad by sticking him on your water bottle, computer, or wherever you'll see him. The QR code leads to the "Emergency Resources" page, so if you ever get into a sticky situation abroad and can't remember what to do, scan the QR code. Hamish will be there to help.
