Discover Corps

I have had the travel itch for some time now and I don't think it's going anywhere! I actually have created a bucket list for myself of things I want to do in my life, and it mostly consists of travel and the various places and things I want to see around the world. I see travel as a unique and powerful way to broaden your horizons and your perspective, to grow and learn from others, to understand just how much difference and diversity exists in the world, and to celebrate that fact--something I feel is especially important these days.

This contrast can be seen in the beautiful church facade in San Andrés Xecul; though it is a Catholic church, it was constructed by Mayan slaves, and many traditional Mayan symbols and colors can be seen in the architecture. In fact, the striking colors of the church, rather than being an expression of Catholic belief or tradition, come from the Mayan cosmology.
