Oct 31, 2016 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoSir Richard Branson isn’t a fan of cruises. Or at least, doesn’t love the sound of them. “I have never been on a cruise, and never wanted to—they sound stuffy and dull. But I would love to go on a voyage—they sound adventurous, exciting and glamourous,” said the entrepreneur during the unveiling of his new cruise voyage line this past month. ... Read More |

Jun 17, 2015 | Contributor: Michael Patrick ShielsSir Richard Branson, like a merry pied piper, pedaled his way on a bicycle through gritty, urban Detroit on a gray summer day.

Morocco on the other hand, is a country stricken with hardship as four million people currently live below the poverty line. ... Read More |
