I\u2019m Dan Duran, a first-generation Chicano boomer who has spent a lifetime translating the world (check out the picture of me in Istanbul in 1967). My first act was in the high-stakes world of global marketing with corporate giants where I navigated international boardroom and consumer behaviors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My second act was in the University classroom where I had the privilege of teaching and leading students beyond the classroom and across borders to see the world through a new lens. That teaching cycle lasted twenty years and I am proud of having taken students to more than twenty-five countries to learn about different business, social, and environmental practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, in my third act at nearly eighty, I am traveling the world with my wife for the purest of reasons: to simply be present. We are currently in Madrid where I’m a Fulbright Scholar teaching a graduate class to international students about Social and Sustainable Ventures that address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoy these short stories of where I have been and where I hope to go inspire you to look back at your own travel and learning experiences and renew your curiosity to beg back on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
