What do we see?
The world around us moves continually onward, a rushing stream of people, sounds, stories...but what do we actually see?
We are bombarded by an increasing desire to travel, to see what all the world has to offer. Because college is when we fully see that the world has so much to offer. We can feel adventure on our finger tips, feeling the wind pushing us to the cusp of the world...but often we can't go.
Study abroad is offered to us as an opportunity to see the world, but it is often too expensive for us. Scholarships help some, but often we must wait and save to finally go and see the rest of the world. So what can we do until then?
Or better yet....how can we expect to fully experience the rest of the world when we cannot experience the one around us.
All around us, other cultures live and thrive, yet do we see them? Do we experience them? How can we appreciate cultures from across the globe if we cannot appreciate the ones that live beside us.
This blog is my journey to change my filter, to see the world with fresh eyes. To experience other cultures that live beside me. Also, it is about my journey to fully experience and appreciate the adventures that lie in plain sight around me.
