Kim Dinan - The Yellow Envelope

Travel blogger Kim Dinan quit her job, sold her home in Portland and convinced her husband to embark on a round-the-world travel adventure with no timeline or particular destination in mind.

On the eve of their departure, they received an unusual going away gift from friends…a yellow envelope with $1,000 and three simple instructions for giving it away during their travels:

Rule #1: Don’t over think it!

Rule # 2: Share your experiences! (… if you want to)

Rule # 3: Don’t feel pressured to give it all away!

Celebrate National Good Samaritan Day with this "From the Vault" episode of Big Blend Radio featuring travel writer Kim Dinan who talks about her travels and the act of kindness, as documented in her memoir, “The Yellow Envelope: One Gift, Three Rules, and A Life-Changing Journey Around the World.” Kim shares how the gift traveled with her through a rickshaw race in India, volunteering at a children’s literacy and arts center in Ecuador, visiting a tiny island in Peru, trekking across Nepal, and beyond.
