Why do we travel? Is it so that we add to our vicarious hoard of memories, mine is bigger than yours? Do we digitize our journeys so that the imagery marks the outer boundaries of our lives? The kingdom of my imagination is larger than yours? Like airline tags on luggage that announce, yes, we have travelled. Or do we travel to truly understand the splendor of this planet of ours, to understand the diversity of the human experience? When we journey this way we truly become one with life itself in all its magnificence, crossing the limitations of prejudice, shedding the safety of the familiar and willingly accepting the unfamiliar.
