In Japanese, "ai" means "love" ... so "ai explore" in this case translates to "I LOVE to explore!"

What do we explore? Experiences!

What kind of experiences? Ones that inspire love, optimism, fulfillment, interpersonal connection, and community-in-action.

Ai Explore is the explorer's club division of Earth Half Full, an online community, marketplace, and explorer's club dedicated to uncovering the optimism in everyone, everywhere.
