Quote: "Matters. The world is your oyster. Although some of us are allergic to shellfish. I would say that travel is beautiful. It enriches you. It gives you that sense of wonderment. Going back to that childlike sense I was speaking about earlier, travel gives you an opportunity to broaden your horizons, your understanding of what it is to be a human because. When you are lost, when you don't fully understand the language or the culture or even where you are, which is beautiful, you become like a sponge. You reconnect to that childhood sense of wonder of taking in your surroundings. It gets rid of that voice in your head of always having to be right or being intelligent 'cause it resets you back to. I am just here and I have no idea what's gonna happen next. The other thing, the massive thing is the kindness of strangers, of reconnecting. With that sense, as you said, humanity always wins. In the end, I believe you set up, it's, it's reconnecting with the fact that we are a global community as opposed to just feeling isolated, stuck in your flat."
