  • how you will always over pack - no matter how hard you try not to

  • how travel makes you see the world differently - it is a degree in life

If you have traveled at all, you are bound to find many points you can relate to in the article. And - if you have never traveled - this list could easily encourage you to take the next step towards travel!
