Hi all!

So the big 3-0 is finally here.  In order to celebrate I will be traveling the entire month of August! My Journey includes 2 weddings, a family reunion and 3 birthdays on 2 continents.  The itnerary is below, but in breif it looks like this: 

WDC- Geneva/Montreaux Switerland - La Rochelle, France - Sao Paolo, Salvador and Rio de Janerio Brazil - WDC

 

WHAT:  Over the past month or so, I have had a number of people ask what I want for my birthday.  I feel weird asking for money, so instead, I would love for you to donate to one of the many hostels, hotels, buses, trains and tours for my trip.  

If you would like, you can contribute for a specific item listed below or for general use.  General use contributions will be used according to necessity- starting with lodging and transportation and then distributed to tours, food and lastly entertainment.    

 

HOW/WHERE:

  • Check: Make a check out to Danielle Lane and send it to my office at 814 New Hampshire Ave. NW, Washington D.C. 20037
  • In-Person: If you live here or want to visit, I will trade your contribution for a free meal and a place to stay in the nation's capital!
  • Online: I have a fundraising link or you can pay via PayPal
  • PayPal:my PayPal email is address: [email protected]

HOW MUCH?/ WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF IT?:  

 I am turning 30, so how about $30?  But of course, you can support with as little as $1 or as much as you feel comfortable with.  In return you will also be rewarded!
