“Travel can be even better than what you see on TV, but that sense of awe doesn’t stem from being on the biggest yacht or staying in the nicest hotel or finding the perfect, most picturesque cabin. It comes from discovering a part of yourself you didn’t know was there. It comes from seeing the world from a new angle. It comes from meeting new people, experiencing new things, and gasping at the knowledge that you could have gone your whole life never having seen or tried or done any of it.”
