Grand Or Not So Grand Tours

No Comments »

Purchasing new furniture, granite countertops, or new appliances often takes precedence over traveling and experiencing cultures other than our own. Acquiring material objects that seem concrete and substantial is enticing. Something we can measure with our eyes. What I have realized overtime is that traveling near or far adds layers of patina to our lives. Being exposed to new influences, ancient cultures, and different political ideas refines and elevates our sensibilities making them deeper and richer. Leaving our comfortable nests to explore new destinations can give us a chance to reflect on our lives and appreciate unfamiliar ways. Traveling is transformative. Bon voyage!
