Want An Effortless Education? Travel Often
Whether you are an adventurous traveler who scales mountains and
hikes through jungles or you are a lover of creature comforts
who lives for five star hotels, travel will teach you some of
life's great lessons. It does not matter if you were born a
beach bum or are an art enthusiast travel will enrich your life.
Whether you prefer traveling in groups or going it alone, if
you are a planner or spontaneous your life will benefit by
traveling away from what you know. You don't have to go far, you
may or may not cross oceans, take a plane, train or car the
important thing is that you explore the world outside of your
community.
What will you discover?
Look at the familiar through new eyes: Travel to a place
you know well with someone who has never been there before. On a
trip to Pittsburgh, where I grew up, my niece and her boyfriend
showed me a city full of unique and charming old neighborhoods,
museums dedicated to things such as ketchup, Andy Warhol and the
birth of the labor movement. I also saw that the view of the
three rivers from Mount Washington is as beautiful as any large
city vista.
We are small: Walk through the redwood forests in
California or hike through Rocky Mountain National Park and you
will discover just how small we are.
There are more similarities than differences:
