Key Ideas

Travelling is your best teacher

Contrary to popular belief, traveling can teach you more than a classroom, job, or relationship ever will.

The real world means packing up and leaving your comfort zone, the familiar, your safe place, and experiencing unknown things - a new place, new people who may not understand you, unfamiliar customs, the list goes on.

Thrilling and intimidating

One of the most intimidating things when traveling is making friends and connecting with locals.

Try it. The worst that could happen - someone doesn’t reply and stares at you.

Follow the Fun

When you get to a new place, ask yourself: "If I lived here, where would I go?" Look for cool events, gigs, and shows. 

It’s a great way to get away from all the tourist spots and into the cool neighborhoods where the locals actually hang out.
