Travel is transformative. There is no better education than an immersion in a culture very different from one’s own. It forces you to evaluate your preconceived notions and reassess any unconscious biases you may have had. The one rudimentary road to this self-discovery is through the senses of touch, smell and taste. Eating the fruits and enjoying the gifts of another culture through their hospitality and participating in their traditions creates a metamorphosis in one’s mind and soul. It is that life altering experience that one builds upon with each journey creating a higher sense of wisdom and understanding that permeates to one’s everyday existence.
