Travel broadens the mind. Goethe knew that. But you only truly understand what it means once you’ve been invited for tea in a small Central Asian village—by people who have nothing, yet give everything.
With every journey, I’ve expanded my horizons a little further. Our perceptions of foreign lands are too often shaped by media that focuses on what isn’t working. Yet, things aren’t perfect back home, either. You have to travel to a country to see the truth—not the headlines, but the people.
The qualities that define people in other countries, the deliciousness of the food, the breathtaking nature—these things cannot be put into words. You have to experience them. Anyone who has slept beneath a star-filled desert sky; watched an elephant feeding right outside their tent; tracked rhinos on foot with a ranger; seen and heard the deep blue ice of Antarctica; watched emperor penguins dive headfirst into the sea; or been invited for tea by hospitable people—people who have little yet give everything—knows this: the world is bigger, more beautiful, and more humane than we imagine.
With every trip, I’ve stretched my comfort zone a little—taking another step forward, getting to know more cultures, and seeing more of this wonderful world. It all begins with the first step. Lao Tzu knew that. And so does anyone who has set off on a journey and never looked back with regret.
