It’s All About Perspective
Travel was not always something that took a priority in my life growing up. It was not the lack of travel, because my parents took us on plenty of trips. In fact, the first time I traveled outside of the United States was on a family trip to Italy at 3 years old. I think travel became special to me when I grew old enough to understand perspective. The European backpacking trip I took after college gave me an opportunity to observe many different cites and perspectives in a short period of time. It was amazing how in such a short physical distance, that people can have such different perspective on live. That trip took me out of my norm and forced me to live in someone else’s world. The trip taught me how to respect other’s way of life because there is no standard on how life should be lived. We all have different paths and values.
