Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.
I barely made it to the airport but once on the plane it all went rather smoothly. I went to visit my daughter in the Maldives. The only place that was truly remote and different was Dubai.
I don’t feel like I have gone all that far, even if I’m on an airplane for 19 hours when I’m still speaking English. I participated in a Soccer match with a bunch of the locals. They were really good and it was quite the experience.
On the return trip, heading back to Seattle , everybody looked out the north side of the airplane and we were lucky to get a nice view of the northern lights flying over Greenland.
A trip to Central Mexico seems so much further. It feels so much further when I have to use my third grade Spanish. It feels so much more remote and authentic. I truly believe if everybody got out of their comfort zone, there would be a lot less anxiety about people from other cultures. This is especially true people in the United States.
