Cant agree more with this. Travelling (but even more moving around and staying a couple of years in different spots) have tought me so much about different people and different cultures anywhere. I really do feel that it adds something to stay a longer period of time because then you can really see what is going on there versus what 'they' want tourists to see.
But yeahh...this has brought me so much understanding and life lessons indeed!
Happy to know how much you have learned from travelling to different spots. It's a kind of experience that changes your perceptions about people and makes you appreciate lots of things in this life that people do take for granted. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. :)
