Travel Teaches Life Lessons

When I was growing up our family didn't take vacations, but we traveled quite often because my father's career took him to new towns, new states & new countries every couple of years. My Dad always said, "Travel is the best education you'll ever get." He was right. The travels of my youth taught me to appreciate the differences in cultures and others opposed to wanting the world and the people in it to be one way. Travel taught me patience and to go with the flow. It taught me that it is better to face challenges with a light heart and laughter... to make the best of what you have. It taught me to trust that whatever happens it ultimately happens for the higher good of all concerned. Travel is a classroom for living a more open, loving, tolerant and appreciative life.
