Travel is Our Passion

“I beg young people to travel. If you don’t have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you’re going to see your country differently, you’re going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter...there are lessons that you can’t get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people—Americans and Europeans—come back and go, ohhhhh. And the light bulb goes on.” 
― Henry Rollins

Most people dream of buying material possessions to create happiness in their lives, but that "happiness" is short-lived, and unfulfilling. Studies show that people who spend money on experiences rather than material possessions are happier in life. More than stuff, I value all the amazing memories I've made on five continents.

Travel is transformative and can change our world and bring meaning to our mundane lives. It expands our horizons, and opens our mind to new ideas, people, and different cultures. Humans develop in many ways when placed in unpredictable situations.

Everyone with the means should travel as much as they can, and as far from home, as possible. Often we complain about the cost of traveling abroad, but the world is a big place and there are travel opportunities for all budgets.

Ignore unfounded fears, get out and explore this amazing world!
