Why Travel?



"For her, traveling is an adventure that must be explored. To be immersed in a different culture even for a week is a venture that sheds light on the experience that is her life story. For her, if a man has not traveled then he has never lived. She posits that there is something life giving about traveling. She saves a little money every month to prepare for the expenses, and then enjoys her travel time worry-free. In the end, when she looks back at her life she wants to say that she explored the glory of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, she relaxed on the beaches in Bali, and stood enchanted by the wonders of Rome. These are the stories she hopes to pass on to her grandchildren. This is the reason she works so hard at work every day. She argues that life is supposed to be enjoyed." -Odell Brown-


Traveling is not just a pass time but an opportunity to learn about the world we live in. It is the way that we all stay connected. I believe that respect comes from understanding and it is only through travel that we can learn to understand each other. I do not want to live in a world were people disrespect each other simply because they are from a different area or have different beliefs. Traveling gives us the opportunity to realize that even though we are all different we all offer something great to the world. our cultures, our foods, our beliefs are all valuable and worth knowing.
So, whether it is a mountain trail you want to hike, an ocean you want to surf, a lake you want to fish in, a cave you want to explore, or a 5 acre farm in the middle of nowhere you want to relax in, get out and TRAVEL now!
