About Us
Inspired by the life of our son, brother and friend, Charlie Johnson
Charlie loved travel and adventure. He studied abroad in New Zealand, Rome, and Peru. He explored much of western Europe, hiked and camped in many state and national parks in the US, and did so with respect and curiosity.
We lost Charlie on the night before his college commencement (University of St. Thomas College of Engineering) in May 2021. He was an innocent victim of gun violence, struck by a stray bullet while walking home after celebrating graduation with friends.
The above sketch of a quote from Lao Tzu was the last entry in his sketchbook. Thus our name Good Travller and intentional misspelling.
Proceeds will be shared with The Charlie Fund, a need based study abroad scholarship program for engineering students at St. Thomas. If you wish to learn more about The Charlie Fund, and/or contribute directly, please tap on the photo for a link to that website at UST. #IamCharlie
