Travelling always reminds me that there is more than one way to think about things. If someone thinks differently than you, it’s important to consider how their own culture and experiences influenced their values and beliefs. At home, we tend to befriend people who are like us. But travelling forces you to think outside your norm. Traveling always helps me learn a little bit more about myself and why I do and think the way I do.
I think that everyone would be a better person if they experienced a different culture and learned that their way of thinking is not the only way. Despite what CNN tells us, the U.S. is not the center of the universe. There are a lot of important and interesting things happening all over the world – you just have to turn off the tv and get out and see for yourself!
