57. It’s smart to not bring a lot of baggage with you when you travel, physical and emotional, and especially ties to your past that can deter your attention and focus from your surroundings. You’re on a journey, put the phone away; that can wait.

It may be the necessary kick in your timid pants that you’ll need to start exploring your destination.

98. Halloween is sadly not accepted by everyone. It is a very culturally relative holiday.

10. No matter where you go, there is always an upper and lower class. Or at least, the former will remind you of this fact.
