Joe Diaz has been to every corner of the globe, but admits he is not a “country counter.” It’s not bragging rights, social media posts or passport stamps that motivate him, it’s people and his belief in their inherent goodness. He says, "Ninety-nine point five percent of the people in the world are here to help you. I tend to think about travel not in terms of how many places you’ve seen, but how many kitchen tables you’ve sat around. How deep did you really go into understanding people or a culture? Travel is about depth, not necessarily breadth.” In this year themed around community at WRA, Diaz’s belief in our global one will be resonant for a group of graduates ready to take on the world.
