I love to travel, and this year I’ve been blessed to visit Hawaii, Ireland, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, France, and many other unique and interesting places. I really enjoy steeping myself in a new culture—from visiting the ruins in Pompeii, to taking a jet boat ride in South Island, to trying the lamb shanks at a restaurant in Ireland.
I’m particularly grateful for travel opportunities because it’s taught me two things: 
1) people are the same around the world no matter the language or lifestyle. We all want to love and be loved; we all want to find acceptance, peace and purpose. And 2) a journey is grandest when it begins and ends at your own front door. I know a trip has been successful when I don’t want it to end, but can’t wait to come home!

"People are the same..." No truer words have ever been spoken. I wish more people would look at even their neighbors this way, let alone people in other countries! Thanks for reminding us all!
