Traveling has been a pastime I have ever since my younger days. Upon discovering new places, I come to terms with my understanding of certain practices and expectations. Of course, there are accompanying sacrifices such as finances, time, people, and many more. Yet the joy and satisfaction offered by those opportunties are much treasured and to some extent, they go beyond any material return.
Much to my delight, travels allow me to deepen my understanding of certain places' cultures and pactices. Being born as human beings, we are aware that accompanying biases and limited judgments are felt by us even after the experience of traveling a certain place.

On the other hand, it is but natural to us to have preconditioned items on our minds. We are at times hesitant to venture into other places due to their ill advised recommendations and assessment. However, if we will only allow ourselves to look deeper into a place's intrinsic wealth, we therefore would feel deeply amazed and overwhelmed to realize that certain new horizons can be divulged to us.
Thus, let us all open ourselves to the experience of travelling since this would enable us to widen our horizon, enrich our culture and open our hearts to the beauty and wonder of other places in this beautiful world we live in.
