TO SEE THE WORLD.
Traveling is more than checking off a place from a list. It is about talking to locals, eating new foods, buying jewelry in someone's home, and embracing new cultures. Traveling encourages you to become more social. It becomes normal to approach new people, make new friends, and get the best help.
TO SEE BEHIND WALLS.
Traveling enhances confidence. To say you shared a meal with a French family or that you hiked Everest. To see behind walls is to be open to new ideas, listen to others, and see from new perspectives. Vulnerability and openness allows you to become moldable and challenge normality.
DRAW CLOSER.
Community is often built upon sharing experiences together, such as hiking a mountain, baking bread, or sharing stories over coffee. Though if travel has anything to offer, it is the opportunity to become a new, different, and better version of yourself. The best part perhaps, is that adventure is not limited to plane tickets and museum tours, but can include meeting new people, buying someone's groceries, or getting to know your neighbor. Travel the world ; that includes your backyard too.
