“Most good travel stories are about discovering the
unexpected. The traveler goes
abroad with an illusion, the illusion is shattered, but then she learns
something new, and after assorted challenges and humiliations, she achieves a
satisfying epiphany.” --

So what did I learn?
*Less can truly
be more
*Empathy is
something people need to actively work on continually strengthening
*Trying to
impose your priorities upon others doesn’t generally work
*Everyone has
individual differences and they should be respected
*It’s ok to ask
for help-the more questions, the better
*Small
accomplishments are just as meaningful as the big ones
*Many
Americans are totally ignorant about Africa
* Drinkable
water from a tap and consistently working electricity are wonderful gifts, but
survival without either is absolutely possible
*A friendly, warm greeting can go a long way
*Seeing life from a different perspective is a truly powerful thing
*Meaningful connections with people are essential to a person's well-being
*The world is filled with amazing people and places. Exploring the world enriches your life.
