In 2019, I visited 46 countries across all 6 continents. This opportunity opened my eyes to so many of the economic, political, and social issues that each nation faces. That said, a recurring theme throughout my journey was being accepted by locals, regardless of the nation I was in. People have this innate ability to want to connect, love, and be loved. That ideology transcends all the other issues I previously mentioned. No matter where I was, locals were always willing to invite me into their lives, and took a genuine interest in my wellbeing. As long as respect for other's beliefs are upheld, the world is far less scary as it's made out to be.
