Having traveled throughout the United States and short stints in neighboring countries, I have learned a lot through observation and conversation. Cultural exchanges have brought me to believe that human difference prevails!
While new experiences can transform perceptions, the mere act of traveling is not enough.
I lived in Hawaii, and watched many people walk the beaches with beer in hand, living it up, enjoying themselves in paradise. But for many of the native residents, Hawaii is home; their daily life experiences differ greatly from those who spend their nights in luxury hotels drinking Mai Tai’s.
The attitude you bring to your travels will affect what you take from them. Are you open to learn from people you may have only read about in books and seen on t.v.? Are you resistant to changing your views regardless of what your experiences may reveal? Traveling abroad can be little more than a vacation; its up to you.
