Describe a typical day at work.

Why do you think learning a new language is important?
One thing that I wished I paid more attention to in school was Spanish! Learning another language is so important because it not only teaches you different things about other cultures, but it will give the people of that culture a sense of understanding and being known. Building fast relationships is so important when it comes to traveling!

Don't think about it too hard or you'll psych yourself out. Just do it! If fear is holding you back, then take the chance. The best things I've ever done have come out of just taking a chance.
What does meaningful travel mean to you?
Meaningful travel is not only just checking a country off the list, but seeing every aspect of it. Immersing yourself in the culture and understanding how its evolved is one of the best things about travel.
