Larif Hamm is a serial entrepreneur, change agent, and founder & visionary of Peculiar Travel and The Passport II Purpose Foundation. Born and raised in Chester, Pennsylvania, Larif grew a love for travel during his undergraduate experience at Temple University. During the summer of 2010, Larif was afforded the opportunity to study abroad in the Forum-Nexus Europe Program. This study abroad program has 20 years of experience providing intensive summer and winter programs in Europe for undergraduate and graduate students. This program helped Larif step outside of his comfort zone and improve his international business acumen and cultural intelligence by being exposed to professors, companies, and organizations in Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Greece. This experience opened pandora’s box for Larif and laid the foundation for his love for traveling. Through The Passport II Purpose Foundation,  Larif wants to afford this same opportunity for underserved youth and students in the community he serves, by any means.
