HON - Project Hi, we’re Briana & Philip – welcome to P4PRO! We’re two students from Romania, currently based in Tucson, Arizona, and passionate about discovering the world through meaningful experiences. On p4pro.org, we share honest travel stories, cultural insights, and personal reflections from our adventures. Right now, we’re chasing a bold goal: earning Lufthansa HON Circle status while documenting every mile along the way. If you’d like to support our journey, help cover a flight, or simply cheer us on — you’re in the right place. Thank you for being part of this with us. – Briana & Philip WHAT WOULD YOU WISH FOR IF YOU DARED TO DREAM? Friendship, an anchor for souls tuned to the adventure of life! Ask yourself: what’s that one thing you’ve always wanted but never said out loud? The kind of dream that lights something inside you, even when life gets busy. For us, it’s this: To keep discovering the world—together—and to do it with purpose. And right now, we’re chasing a goal that reflects everything we love about aviation, loyalty, and travel: Lufthansa HON Circle status. Briana "I’ve always dreamed of bringing smiles to those in pain. Becoming a doctor has been my calling—a path where gentle hands bring healing and hope. But deep inside, there’s another pulse that’s kept me awake at night: the unshakable desire to see the world. Travel has always been the breath that gives me life. And so, I decided to follow both dreams—to heal others, while healing myself. Today, I’m studying medicine in Arizona, U.S., and this is just the beginning of my journey toward fulfillment." Philip "I’ve explored 85 countries—and that’s just the beginning. Travel isn’t just my passion; it’s part of my identity. My love for aviation led me to become a certified pilot, and now, I’m continuing my journey as a business student in the U.S. The thrill of exploring new cultures, the hum of a jet engine, the joy of a new destination—these are the things that make my heart beat. Travel will always be at the core of who I am." What is Lufthansa HON Circle Status? HON Circle is Lufthansa’s highest status level within the Miles & More program. To qualify, you need to earn 6,000 HON Circle Points—only possible by flying Business Class or First Class on Lufthansa Group airlines (like SWISS, Austrian, or Lufthansa itself). This status unlocks not just lounges and upgrades, but also priority treatment, better flight protection during delays, and entry into Lufthansa’s exclusive HON world. It’s something usually earned by frequent business travelers. We’re just two full-time students chasing the same dream—with determination, a love for flying, and a plan. Why we’re chasing Lufthansa HON Circle Status as students? For us, travel isn’t just movement—it’s meaning, it’s momentum, it’s who we are. It’s the way we’ve built our friendship, discovered the world, and shaped who we’re becoming. While we continue studying full-time in Arizona, we want to spend this summer flying across the globe to document our travels and earn HON Circle status by the end of 2025. But more than that—we want to show what’s possible when you turn passion into action, even without a corporate budget behind you. And this is where you can be part of the story. Supporter Rewards – Join the Journey We’re inviting our community to support our goal—and be part of our journey. Whether you’re passionate about aviation, inspired by stories like ours, or simply want to follow two determined students around the world, here’s how you can help: • $1 – A “Thank You!” note from us • $5 – A thank-you note + a travel photo from the journey • $10 – Your name listed on our Supporter Wall on p4pro.org • $30 – A custom-designed digital postcard • $50 – A real postcard mailed from the road • $100 – A 20-minute Zoom with us: ask us anything about flying, studying abroad, or traveling smart • $200 – A custom trip plan made by us—pick a place, we’ll help you plan it And if you’d like to support us with more, we’ll make sure to thank you in a personal and meaningful way.

About Us Wandering Souls Here is where our shared adventures unfold. As Philip, Ariana, and Briana, we bring to life stories of how travel profoundly deepens friendships and enriches our souls. Our website captures a tapestry of experiences, showcasing the emotional and spiritual bonds developed through our journeys. It's a testament to the indelible impact of travel on our lives, illustrating how each destination we explore further cements our friendship and leaves lasting impressions on our souls. The Story In the midst of the teenager's turmoil, three friends led by fate started to provide purpose to life. They embarked on a journey to discover the glories of life's transitory existence, learn more about the world's mesmerising civilizations, and let the planet's pristine air soothe their spirits. Discovering what friendship means they started leaving shreds of their souls everywhere they went whether it was in Iceland, the land of the midnight sun and northern lights, Cappadocia, the place where hot air balloon paint the sky in burning colours or the Atacama desert, where astronomers gather to peer at the sky. In their travels, they found that the world was a tapestry of wonders waiting to be explored. In Iceland, the land of the midnight sun and northern lights, they marveled at the ethereal beauty of the Arctic skies, where stars danced in the polar night. In Cappadocia, they soared high above the otherworldly landscape in hot air balloons, painting the dawn sky with vibrant hues, feeling like they were part of a dream. And in the Atacama Desert, they gazed upon the heavens with awe, as astronomers gathered to peer into the depths of the universe. The pristine air of this barren expanse seemed to carry the secrets of the cosmos, and they felt a profound connection to the mysteries of the night sky. But it wasn't just the places they visited that left an indelible mark on their souls; it was the friendship they cultivated along the way. Through laughter and challenges, they discovered the true meaning of companionship, leaving pieces of their souls in each other's hearts. As they continued their journey, they realized that life's glories were not just in the destinations they reached but also in the bonds they forged and the memories they created. And so, they carried their shared experiences, like shreds of their souls, as treasures that illuminated their path through the transient beauty of existence.
