All 10 of us cousins traveled out of the country, often overseas, after high school. It was a right of passage. In addition to staying with families in European countries, I also went to Morocco. Mind blown. You can see how Europe influenced the culture of the United States, and the differences too. It changes the way you think about the world and where you live. When we were younger we went to Mexico and Canada. Every young person should travel outside the United States, and they also need to travel within it. Experiencing Nature is another blinder on a micro level, or understanding how indigenous peoples lived in different climates and geography. My early experiences changed the way I think and look at the world and how people organize themselves and are influenced by their environment, culture, spiritual practices, storytelling, art, and so much more.
