Travel Abroad

Travel abroad. Traveling is an excellent way to expose yourself to other cultures, traditions, and values different from your country.

If you make enough money, consider investing in a second passport or country you enjoy. Live there part-time or full-time.

When I traveled to Greece with my dad before college, we had a great cab driver. The cab driver drove us around the lower parts of Greece for our trip. He helped us stay in the local hotels and find the best restaurants rather than just going to the more expensive tourist traps.
