OneGlobe Citizen began as a simple idea after a solo trip abroad, but it has turned into much more than a passion project for founder Brenden Dougherty. Over the past two years he has managed to amass a stunning editorial team as well as an extensive network of partner photographers, philanthropic organizations, and travel writers, all committed to sharing stories from across the world and from all walks of life.
"We all know that government and history books shape our knowledge about other parts of the world, but there is much more we can learn from sharing with each other as individuals. OneGlobe Citizen extends that person-to-person conversation."
