Connect Across Cultures
You can read a lot about the world on the Internet, and even learn about people from other cultures. But you can’t truly be a part of each other’s lives until you meet face to face. When you adventure deeper, you meet people who live in the places you visit and come together around shared activities. You have the chance to eat together, laugh together, and ask each other questions. You have the chance to open your arms and your minds and understand what the world looks like from the vantage point of the people you encounter. When you leave, you leave with new friends.
