Travel. Plain and simple. Everyone should do it. Everyone should experience it. Adventure and exploration is found in the small corners of local towns and it’s captured thousands of miles away, in another language, where nothing is familiar but yet all feels vaguely comfortable. Solo or with others. Bucket list trips, expeditions, research, and reporting back.

Storytelling. Is every culture. Every part of history passed down. It’s information and how we perceive the things around us. It’s how we understand ourselves and each other. It’s how we listen and learn. It’s known to inspire and embolden. It changes perspectives, break stereotypes and creates myths. It can be told in all forms of media. It is our backbone.

Opportunity. Give back to the community. Create community. Plan, consult and guide. Work with disadvantaged and at-risk populations. Help others explore, get out of their comfort zone, or maybe feel right at home. Share experiences. Enjoy life-long connections.

Learning. Never stop. Learn culture. Learn humility, integrity. Learn anything and everything. It’s never too late. We are never too old. Take the risk and learn something new – there is so much world around us. Learn as you go, be open, inquisitive, and ready for the next task.
