Traveling Can Open Many Doors

Traveling can open many doors.  Pack your bags and go somewhere new!   Many people never get to travel or they choose to stay "safe" at home.  They find comfort in their everyday repetitive world.  

 Our world has become smaller and smaller. Traveling hundreds or thousands of miles in one day gives us opportunities to experience different parts of the world past generations only dreamed of.  Throughout history, thousands of families have perished on long treks, over dangerous mountains, through life threatening deserts, and large bodies of water, to arrive in new lands.  Today, we get on line and within minutes we are booked to a far away place.  
We travel for many reasons.  While we are traveling we meet new friends with different lifestyles, behaviors and beliefs.   Eating different foods, hiking new trails, swimming in different waters, shopping in different communities, all adds to the richness of the journey. 

Is it better to keep things the same, like we have been taught? or change?
When we choose to travel we open up to new possibilities and new experiences which change us forever.  When we seek to change ourselves we change the world and better our life.
