It’s Not about the Destination, It’s about the Journey

I urge you to travel. As far and as much as possible. Work ridiculous shifts to save your money. Go without the latest iPhone. Find out how other people live & realize that the world is a much bigger place than the town you live in. And when you come home, home may still be the same.  And […]
