I have always wanted to see the world. As a kid I did travel for short distances with my parents, and I already did "see" the world my own way by reading about the beautiful places of our small planet.
But once I started travelling farther away on my own, I realised that there is a whole lot more to learn from travelling than just visiting the actual sites.
The answer is people. I learned to appreciate the cultural differences, the pros and cons of acting this or that way in any given situation.
And it made me realise that there is no good or bad way of doing things, just different ways.
I feel privileged to have the opportunity of meeting people of the most varied cultural backgrounds. I like to believe that I was able to incorporate a bit of their worldview to broaden my own.
