But to learn real culture and really get educated in the world around us that we have to live in, it is best to travel. You can only teach what you have learned. I have traveled to France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Asia and some states California, N.Y, Louisiana, and Chicago. I just enjoy life and everything it has to offer. You have to live as if this was your last day, because you never know what the future might bring. |
