Despite the abundance of screens in this modern era, no Instagram post, nor YouTube video can truly offer the experience of visiting a place in person. The difference lies in experiencing something through our senses.

Traveling is a way of experiential learning and education. No one can teach you better about geography, culture, manners and customs of a place, flora and fauna, than traveling a specific location!

Through traveling, we see how human behaviour, moral code and everyday life varies in different locations, for example geography, politics, religion and climate, shape people’s mindsets.

We discover a country and its people on a deeper level via their language, cuisine, music, dance and arts, all of which influence how we think.
