Just a reminder for those currently stressed to the max...

Love yourself as much as women in commercials love yogurt!

There’s something powerful about stepping outside your own borders—whether that’s crossing into a new state or a new country.

When we travel, we’re reminded that the way we do things at home isn’t the only way. Every culture has its rhythms, traditions, and perspectives, and the simple act of engaging with them stretches us.

In my own journey—visiting all 50 U.S. states and nearly 20 countries—I’ve found that travel doesn’t just fill your passport, it rewires your mind. You start to notice small differences that carry big meaning:

-how people share meals,
-how they debate ideas,
-how they honor community.

Those encounters spark curiosity, but they also spark humility. What struck me most is that deep insight doesn’t only come from professors or leaders—it can just as easily come from a street vendor, a farmer, or a fellow traveler on a bus.

With two master’s degrees and a boatload of certifications, I’ve spent years in formal education, yet the world keeps teaching me lessons no classroom could.

This is why travel breeds empathy.

The more we connect with people different from ourselves, the more willing we are to admit, “Maybe my way isn’t the best way—or maybe it’s great in some contexts, but not all.”

That simple openness changes how we show up back home. At least it does for me!

In the end, the greatest gift of travel isn’t the postcard views—it’s the widening of our perspective. Every culture we encounter hands us a mirror, asking us to rethink what we thought we knew. And in that reflection, we become not just better travelers, but better humans.

I love to travel. I have been to all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, plus the British Virgin Islands, England, Wales, Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, The Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Sint Maartin (Netherlands)/ Saint-Martin (France), Honduras, Jamaica, Spain, Italy, France, Monaco, Switzerland, and Portugal.

I love to get outside my comfort zone and to learn to think differently!

I may need to right a book about my travels or just re-fire up this Travel page to get it all out! ~ Wendy Sellers
