Once, I heard a group of people discussing their future family, their wife and husband and, their children. They spoke about how they have no intention of raising their family in their native country. Their reasons were both specific and vague. They said they didn’t want their children to copy the rotten mindset that seemed to be plaguing the youth. Fair enough but I think it’s more than that.

I believe that this is just perspective, a serious cultural perspective. I want to have fun, meet new people, learn the shift of things, and understand practically and less theoretically how we’re all the same and, at the same time, see that we’re not. The shift in timeline, specifics in weather, clothing, music, social circles, in day-to-day life.

If I had the time and money, something that I am personally willing to see through, I would not just look at the waterfalls on foreign plains. I would immerse myself in the language, the nuances, in the crooks and crannies I can find. I would make new friends and establish a well-grounded life in the country I find myself. To say that I lived, not just floated past.

But I would also enjoy myself. Let’s talk about the food. The world can not seem to get enough of food! The jittery sensation of new meals I get when I imagine myself in different countries is so real, I wonder how I will react when I finally get the opportunity. Though, we can thank the established restaurants in our areas, we can be rightly assured, that it is nothing like what we would have friends prepare for us. The world is so vast, jolting, precious and, there are so many things to explore, so many profound connections to make, so many experiences to experience! The change in scenery you have been used to all your life. A personal, profound appreciation for beauty. Traveling is an underrated privilege.
