A Passion for Travel and Photography
Travel is the Best Education
As a youngster, I never traveled outside North America. Sure, I went on family trips throughout Canada and the USA, including regular jaunts to sunny Florida. But until a late 1990s trip to Europe, I had never really seen the world. Since then — aided in part by my move to Japan in 2008 — I've made up for lost time. So far, I've visited 17 countries on five continents, with my camera or iPhone always by my side.
If I've learned anything from my worldwide wanderings, it's that travel is the best education. Meeting people and experiencing foreign cultures provides a different perspective on the world. You learn that our ways are not always correct, and that sometimes, people in other lands do things better. Through travel, we learn from each other, regardless of background, language or religion.
As travel writer Rick Steves puts it, travel "rearranges our mental furniture." So true.
