Why We Travel

A friend posted this essay from The Guardian (The essay is actually from 2010) the other day and as we both are starting to make our way back from another adventure it made me stop and wonder...and sit in awe of this idea that travel allows us to be free enough to get on a plane and head to the other side of the world with a whole set of people and cultures we have never seen before...or if we have, we always  endeavor to find a new side of it. I believe that the only way to really truly see a country is to dive so deep into it that you feel uncomfortable and that you fit in all at the same time. My favorite line from the essay is this quote:

"We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything."


I hope that all of you are having a great holiday season, thank you for reading our blog and we wish you and yours a fruitful and healthy new year.
