Travel makes you happy
Travel makes you happy. It just makes you feel good in a way nothing else does. Seeing a place for the first time is especially electrifying; tasting new foods, finding your way around, communicating. The feeling of being a world citizen you gain by sharing a meal with a Chinese farmer on a train from Shanghai to Xi’an is priceless. The thrill of zip-lining across crystalline lakes in Cuba is exhilarating. The challenge of finding your way around the hutong, or alleyways, of Beijing is rewarding. I also believe that travelling outside your comfort zone helps you hone practical skills used in your day-to-day life like problem-solving, goal setting and communication.
What I want to share
I want to share these experiences with you and inspire you to create your own unique experiences. On your way to these adventures, I hope to provide you with useful information to help you get there.
