“Once a year, go someplace you have never been before.”Dalai Lama A habit of exploringI chose a travel-related quote because this coming week I am heading to Tenerife with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday. It felt fitting. This is one of my favourite quotes about travel, mostly because I try to live by it. I genuinely make an effort to visit at least one new place every year. Not always far, not always big, but always new. While reflecting on it, I realised the quote is not only about travel. It is really about exploration. Some years traveling is not possible, but we can still explore new ideas, new hobbies, new habits, or even new ways of thinking. Traveling also teaches humility. It shows us how other people live, think, and value different things. It gently breaks the assumption that the way we were raised, our culture, or our society is the default. What we call normal is often just what we are used to. Exploring reminds us there is always more out there. And that is a good thing. Tags#Travel #Perspective #Culture |
