Remember travel? We do.

On the eve of Independence Day, we pay tribute to travelers: to storytellers, conservationists, runners, activists. And to all the people we meet on the way.

At GRID, we’ve always believed that travel was never about luxury—it’s about connection. It’s about community. As the country slowly reopens, we remain optimistic that travel can still be the lifeline that helps our communities to recover, and our nation to rebuild.

Someday, we will travel again.
