| "I believe travel is one of the best
things for us. it shows us unequivocally that there is a world beyond the white picket fence enclosing our back
yard, that there are people out there who are no different than us, yet at the same time, are so different than
us. It shows us that there is no right or wrong, there just "is". It shows us that we all want the same
thing: to love and be loved. And lastly, it shows us that when you find yourself in a land that is so different
in every way from the one you are accustomed to, you find out just how much strength and ability you have to survive
in this world, regardless of what the environment throws at you." |
