Travel makes you a better citizen of the world, the experience of different people and cultures reminds us that we are all people sharing the same planet.

Travel gives us a new appreciation of other cultures because we can then see the people in those cultures with a new perspective. We may have always known there were people who live in other countries but it is never the same as meeting them.

Travel broadens your horizons and shows you a new way of looking at the world. It makes us think about our place on the planet and we begin to gain an new understanding and appreciation for people from other places.

Travel can turn what we perceive as the ‘other' and ‘unknown’, into the known. It takes us away from our own cultures and norms and allows us to experience a new normal.

Travel gives us the freedom to examine our own values and helps us grow as people and learn about ourselves.

Travel educates us about new places and we gain knowledge of the new location we are visiting.

Studies show that travel reduces stress and it also improves our ability to handle stress.

Travel helps us gain a greater appreciation of who we are, what we believe and where we belong in the world.

Traveling forces change, it shakes things up and challenges us to pay attention.

It creates new memories. We may not remember what we did yesterday but we will remember our first trip to a new location for a lifetime.

Travel makes us smarter. It makes our brains function at a different speed and heightens our awareness, all the while exposing us to history, geography, art, and culture.

If more people traveled and gained a new understanding of the world, the world would be a better place for it.
