The Life Lessons Travel Teaches You and Why It's Important to See the World

What's sitting at the root of so much that we do wrong in this world? Prejudice, ignorance and bigotry.

How does this state of mind manifest in us? By being insular, lacking empathy, allowing ourselves to be only familiar with our little corner of the world.

An antidote? Travel.

When you push yourself out of your comfort zone and take the time to really see a different culture, you start to sip at the antidote of life's poisonous attitudes.

Travel exposes you to different perspectives, experiences, history, culture, religions and ultimately, a better self.

3 Days in Paris

Ah, Paris. Paris is... a lot of different things to as many different people. A home for some of the world's greatest art, a centre of fashion, place scarred with history, or just a pretty city on the way to somewhere else—Paris has as many guises and disguises as its citizens. Paris—city of light, city of love, city of art...city of lots of stuff, but many of people swing though on the way to or from somewhere else, catching a glimpse of the city each time they do, which is a good way to do it—because Paris is the kind of city you'll want to keep coming back to. There are so many things to see and do in Paris that just walking around can be an experience, but if you choose your route carefully you can swing by some of the main events as you do. This itinerary is for the beginner, who knows they're coming back.

Day 1

The first question to ask yourself as you're boarding your plane or train Paris bound is how much of my time do I want to spend in art galleries?
