Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. Mark Twain
Journeys
Traveling has been an essential learning experience for me. From immersing myself in other cultures, I have learned the value of an openness to diverse ways of thinking. Learning about the world through my journeys is an integral part of my self-determined life’s mission. I plan to continue to expand my horizons.
