I was*sort of* traveling abroad when I studied in Canada but at the same time it didn’t feel like it because it is an English-speaking country. Looking back now, one thing I wish I could have done is language immersion. It would be fun to go to a non-English speaking country like Japan to live for a summer. That will be a great way to immerse in the culture and hone my language skill!

My whole career revolved around my first trips as a teenager. It helps with resilience, being resourceful and hopefully being respectful. So true!

So, so true. I know it’s a privilege to travel when young, but I do think it add so much to their lives. I don’t regret any of the trips I took as a late teen-early twenty-something at all!

I went on a school band trip to Paris and London when I was in high school. It wasn’t my first time abroad but it was for many of my friends. It was a life shaping experience for ALL of us. So I say… if the family can find a way to afford it, then letting their teen travel abroad could have profound positive impacts across their whole life!

We saw first hand all of the benefits you spoke about. We really thought it would give her perspective but it really helped with her relationships with others. Pretty soon she was finding travel buddies along the way and having a great time of it.

I know that when I’m treating patients in the nursing homes that the biggest regret they have is not doing more while they were younger. It also helps the kids not be so narrow minded when it comes to things like, ‘why can’t I have that’ – when they are able to see what true struggle is, and yet the people are still happy – it makes their own journey easier as well. LOVE THIS POST SO SO MUCH!
