When we last spoke in these pages, the doors to our world were slamming shut. Almost overnight, borders closed, vacations ceased, and our radius of discovery became our homes and our own backyards, literally and figuratively. Despite the world being on pause, at least temporarily, it’s worth remembering that the world is sill waiting for us to discover its wonders.

As I’ve reflected on this period of time and the lessons I’ve learned from it, I keep returning to a single refrain over and over again – the refrain that travel is indeed the only purchase we make that makes us richer. Not wealthier in the material sense, of course, but richer in the ways that count. The experiences we have while traveling, as we discover new places and try new things, help us build rich memories, grow as people, and are proven to boost our self-confidence and happiness.
