I’ve never been a fan of the empty selfie. You go and stand in front of some place famous, take a photo, smile, and walk away. That’s just not what travel is about!
Travel allows you to become your best beast. Like the dragons from folklore, many of the best take parts of other animals to become the most powerful myth. Exposing yourself to new experiences can do the same for you!
Everywhere I go, I immerse myself in the local culture, the local cuisine and get to the know what really makes that city, that village, that group, or that event tick. I want to try everything at least once and you should too! Some of my best experiences have been accidentally getting myself lost, asking someone for help, and finding that best out of the way restaurant, or an amazing cultural artifact, or maybe even seeing the usual history but from a different perspective. I may have been born in the United States, but I believe we should all be citizens of the world.
