“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” - Mark Twain Did you know that 36% of US citizens hold a valid passport and the number who actually travel outside the US is much lower annually (3.5% in 2009). I cant say that I blame everyone. Travel is expensive and most people only get 12 days a year for paid vacations. So taking a trip like I did this year, that included 27 hours travel time just to get home, is outside what most people can afford for time or money, but if you have the chance to travel to somewhere outside the US, do. But when you do, get outside the touristy areas and explore the countryside. Get to know the people. The world is an amazing place filled with so many varied experiences. We are pretty lucky to live in such an amazing country, but there is a world outside what we experience every day. If I could travel for a living I would.
