A New Type of Travel

I love the way Dragons travels. The instructors taught us about travel awareness. Most importantly, that we are not here to change or help the people we are meeting but to learn and observe their culture and lifestyle. This perspective guided me through the course. It helped me be more open to new experiences. And these experiences have continued to have a lasting impact on my life. For instance, during a homestay in Rural Nepal I sat on the floor of my host families hut watching my host mother make dinner. I could only communicate my needs so I sat in silence watching my mother cook from a fire in the ground. It's hard to explain how these experiences directly impacted me. Simply put, a feeling from those moments still last inside me and continue to shape the way I look at the world.
Each day, an experience from Nepal guides me throughout my life.
