To me travel:
is Educational
I love art museums! Guggenheim, New York
is Edifying
I was moved by this young monk’s devotion at the site of Buddha’s enlightenment.
Makes Memories
My kids being demonically happy about their fake drivers’ licenses at Disneyland.
is Fun
Playing at Huntington Beach, CA
Encourages me to try new things
a Paneer Burger at the “Beef Free” McDonald’s in New Delhi, India
Introduces me to the wondrous things humanity has to offer
detail of Raphael’s School of Athens in Vatican City, Rome
is Adventurous
Me ziplining with family in Hawaii
Exposes the Beauty of the World
Elk in Yellowstone National Park
Enables me to meet new people
Tiny little girl by the side of a hiking trail in Nepal.
And hopefully, makes me a more empathetic (ie. better) person. I sincerely hope I can continue my exploration of the world and all it has to offer.
The Traveling Humanist
