“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
– Maya Angelou
Navigating a new culture can be challenging. You are in an unfamiliar place where you may not speak the language and you will experience an overwhelming amount of “new” and “different” that pushes you outside of your comfort zone. Don’t worry – these are all good things!
Take the opportunity to get to know the culture of your destination. Try new foods, talk with the locals, and explore the area. Check out my travel planning services to see how I can help you have the best possible cultural experience during your next trip!
