Explore locally

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. -Mark Twain

Travel is a fantastic way to open ones mind. If you set out on your journey of exploration with preconceived answers and expected observations, you will not benefit from the knowledge born of the experience. You don’t always need to leave your neighborhood to gain the same benefits that long distance travel can provide. Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds that emanate from your local community to expand your world. The above photo was not taken in Hong Kong but rather, during Chinese new year celebrations in Chinatown in New York City. Another example of why we encourage you to explore locally.
