I so agree with this thought!
Often, people get caught up in the idea of ticking off countries from a list, but real exploration isn’t about passport stamps (which ironically, technology will soon make a thing of the past), it's about getting into and understanding the unique cultures, languages, and landscapes within a region.
Some of the most eye-opening experiences happen when we slow down and fully immerse ourselves in one place rather than spreading ourselves thin trying to "collect" destinations.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
