A major reason I consider the education I received to be so rich and valuable was because my parents and I traveled extensively during my childhood (0-18yo, though it didn't stop even after I was ostensibly an adult -- my mom took me to China and Tibet for my 25th birthday, for example). I've been all over the U.S. and the world and, other than loving, supporting, and accepting me without end, it was the greatest possible gift they could have given me. My husband and I don't have the kind of money my parents had/have (yet!) but we strive to go places and do things that that, as you said so perfectly, change up our environment, introduce us to new sights and people and cultures, and broaden our horizons (and our hearts and minds) in all sorts of ways.
This might be your very best post yet, Hope. So much great advice and real wisdom here. So, so, so good.
Wow, thanks for sharing that. What wonderful things to think and dream about. Definitely encourages me to keep making travel a priority :) Love always, Sarah!
