In-Depth Information
Whether you travel as a monk, a hedonist, or somewhere in between, you can come home
better friends with our world.
My best vacations have been both fun and intensely educational. Seeing how smart
people overseas come up with fresh new solutions to the same old problems makes
me more humble, open to creative solutions, and ready to question traditional ways of
thinking. We understand how our worldview is both shaped and limited by our family,
friends, media, and cultural environment. We become more able to respectfully coexist
with people with different “norms” and values.
Travel challenges truths that we were raised thinking were self-evident and God-giv-
en. Leaving home, we learn other people find different truths to be self-evident. We realize
that it just makes sense to give everyone a little wiggle room.
