Jumping the Picket Fence

by GoPhil Co-Founder, Lydia Dean

A beautiful mixture of travel memoir, soul-searching, adventure and making a difference, Jumping the Picket Fence is GoPhil Co-Founder Lydia Dean’s inspiring journey to GoPhilanthropic– an awakening from a lost and under-confident working mother to an ambassador for impoverished communities.

Join her on a fearless, inspirational path around the world — through the ups and downs of volunteering at an orphanage in India, exploring the back roads of Southeast Asia, adopting a child from China, trekking with indigenous peoples of Venezuela, and ultimately launching GoPhilanthropic. From magical and entertaining to painfully raw and unsettling, her experiences reveal the profound value in listening to our inner voices.

“A great read for anyone that is making sense of the path they choose in life — in other words, for just about everyone and anyone.”
