Is there value in traveling?

[Vision]

It’s not what you do but how you do it.

Travelling can expand your bubble of experience and open yourself up to new perspectives. 

We went on a trip to my parents’ home country (my ethnic background but I wasn’t born there) 6-7 years ago. Things that are considered completely normal there are considered abusive in 1st world countries - doesn’t change the fact that it is abusive though. 

I think that people who have 1st generation immigrant parents have at least some type of childhood trauma, neglect, or abuse. It’s a cycle, they get abused by their parents and then they abuse you. But I digress.

It’s been years since I last travelled but I am interested in travelling to see other cultures and perspectives. It’s like you’re going to a different plane of reality. Cultural norms play such a huge role in our worldview.

Awesome! Where/Why did you go?

The east coast: Boston, DC, NYC, a tiny island off the coast of Maine. challenging and good times  

The summer had been spent at a kids camp, working as a counselor, I then had the free schedule and desire to travel alone.
