I wrote an essay that explored what I’ve learned from travel and how it has influenced the choices I’ve made and my lifestyle. For one thing, travel has showed me what I don’t need (do I really need closets full of clothes. And I can’t afford to travel unless I live frugally.
My essay was published by the website nextavenue.org and was picked up by pbs.org as well. It’s called How Travel Taught Me to Live More Fully and Simply.
