It’s a wanderful world.

Travel is a magical thing. Seeing new places, meeting new people, experiencing different ways of life — all of it leaves an imprint on your heart and on your soul.

Of course, this doesn’t happen on its own. You have to do a little bit of the work, too. As the old saying goes: you get what you give. And, considering you only live once, you might as well give it all you got.

Whether roaming through a row of lemon trees in rural Uruguay or scaling the Great Wall of China, allowing the journey to change you is what matters most. So here’s to wandering. Here’s to perpetual growth. And here’s to never allowing your curiosity to fade. Wander with me, won’t you?

"Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind."
