I always thought of the best gift of travel (at least the kind of travel we’re talking about here) was cultural exchange. The world is still much more segregated than we care to admit, and probably will be for the rest of our lives. Why not go out and spread and take in as many ideas as you can, after all, only a small potion of the developed world has the privilege and drive to travel. It’s our responsibility to make those walls just a little bit more porous.
