Travelling overseas is and will always be an invigorating experience. Being immersed in a new culture, unable to speak the language and lost without the guidance of a map, travel book or friendly local can be both overwhelming and liberating. Realising that you alone can navigate the great underground metro system, or order a beautiful meal off a menu you can't understand instills confidence and enables you to move through life with a certainty that can't necessarily be achieved at home. It is the small hurdles you overcome on these journeys that you'll remember most, not the overpriced generic hotels that you could have stayed at home to experience. Travel is your own, it's what fuels your imagination and helps you take notice of what's happening outside of your daily life. Travel empowers you and enables you to empathise with the struggles of others around the world, it allows you to let go and dream "what if".
